Karen Bussell - 25 January 2011
Very pretty and quite classical, choreographer and director David Bintley CBE waves his magic wand to create an enchanting 20th anniversary piece for Birmingham Royal Ballet.
His Cinderella is a spectacle of tinsel and twinkle with drama and pantomimic slapstick – in fact something to delight the whole family. Given that Matthew Bourne’s version is touring at the same time, it is a relief that the two pieces are not at all similar with Bourne being somewhat dark and quirky, and Bintley’s offering glitter and tradition.
John F MacFarlane’s absolutely superb sets provide apposite backdrops while David Finn’s lighting creates atmosphere in the gloomy graveyard; stark, shabby kitchen; dreamy skyscapes; grand palace ballroom and moonlit gardens.
Elisha Willis delicately and consistently portrays the downtrodden titular barefoot skivvy and, with her buoyant Prince Iain Mackay, performs a particularly captivating pas de deux at the ball.
