Prologues danse - Cendrillon de Maguy Marin

Les Prologues danse sont de courtes créations vidéo qui introduisent une soirée de spectacle sur La Sept (ancienne chaîne Arte).

The ballet Cinderella, by Sergei  Prokofiev, was written as a commissioned work for the famous ballet  company of the Kirov Theatre in what is now St Petersburg. Its premiere,  however, actually took place in Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre on 21 November  1945. The work achieved international status with Frederick Ashton’s  version, which appeared under the English title of Cinderella in 1948.  The accompanying recording of Sergei Prokofiev’s ballet Cinderella is  taken from a performance by the Opéra National de Lyon in 1989,  choreographed by Maguy Marin. Set and costumes are by Montserrat  Casanova, lighting design by John Spradbery, and the musical  directorship of the Opéra National taken up by Yakov Kreisberg. Studio  production of the Lyon Opera House recording was by Måns Reuterswärd.
