Cinderella - A Ballet Everyone Should See

By Mark Walters

There are a lot of people that decide to see the ballet for the first time each and everyday. Of course, ballet is far from a new phenomenon, but many people, for one reason or another, do not getting around to seeing a performance. However, after you have been once, the chances are that you will make the decision to see several more ballets!

If you have made the decision to take in a ballet then you will want to make Cinderella your first. This story is amazing when you see it in the form of a ballet. However, the story is the same as the childhood story that you learned years ago. But, for those of you that do not know the story, let me explain a little bit. It will make the ballet more enjoyable when you go to see it and it will also build the anticipation.

Cinderella is the main character and she is treated very poorly by her step family. She is their maid most of the time and she is not really allowed to do anything that she enjoys. Then, she has an opportunity to attend the ball with her step-sisters and the prince will be there. When she goes he sees her and he falls in love with her just from looking at her. The problem starts when it turns midnight and she must leave in a hurry. At that time she leaves behind one of her glass slippers. This is how the prince decides to find her.

He spends a great deal of time searching all over the place for the woman that fits into the glass slipper. He plans to marry the person that it fits. So, he continues to search and search until he finds Cinderella. Then they go off into the sunset and they get married and they are happy forever. This really is a love story for the ages.

If you have small children and you want them to experience the ballet then you will want to strongly consider finding tickets to the Cinderella ballet. You could even let them watch the movie, or read the book before they go and see it. This will help them learn about what they will see. It might also get them very excited for their experience.
