The
event is a collaboration programme between the HBSO and Norway’s
Transposition Programme.
The ballet, composed between 1940 and 1944, has inspired
an estimated 1,500 versions of the ballet around the world.
The ballet is choreographed by Johanne Jakhelln Constant
of Norway,
who has worked with HBSO to stage the ballets ‘The Nutcracker’ and ‘Coppélia’.
The show will feature young dancer Tran Hoang Yen as
Cinderella and Japanese dancer Nobuo Fujino as the Prince.
Cinderella premiered at the city’s Opera House in 2013
