hristopher Wheeldon's acclaimed new Cinderella for the Dutch National Ballet is an imaginative interpretation of a muchloved classic.

"The joined talent of the British theatre designer Julian Crouch, the American video projection designer Daniel Brodie and the puppeteer Basil Twist created a magical, colorful and often visually dizzying canvas wherein Wheeldon's choreography moves the action forward in a fluent, almost cinematographic manner. The video and audio quality are outstanding for this release...color definition, contrast, sharpness all make for a very impressive and enjoyable viewing experience. Sound-wise this Cinderella is a treat as well." ClassicalNet
