Cinderella: Ball
built 614 days ago
Cinderella, it is claimed, is the most frequently staged pantomime (a uniquely British form of entertainment usually presented at Christmastime) and it is significant that ballet and feriées sprang from the same source as pantomime particularly in their development in Britain. 1804 is the date usually acknowledged for the first pantomime version of Cinderella when it was presented on the stage of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

Having broken through to popular success with Night Songs, Cinderella returned with their second album, Long Cold Winter, in July 1988. Radio initially focused on the track "Gypsy Road," giving it a Top 20 ranking in the Album Rock Tracks chart, but Mercury did not release it as a single at first (although in the U.K., where it was released as a single, it charted). Instead the power ballad "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" was released as a single in August, and it peaked at number 12 in November. The album reached number ten in September, the same month it was certified gold and platinum simultaneously, with a double-platinum certification following in November. (It was certified triple platinum in January 1997.) As the group continued to tour relentlessly through 1988 and 1989, Mercury broke more singles from the LP. "The Last Mile," released in December, peaked at number 36 in March 1989; "Coming Home," released in March, hit number 20 in June; and "Gypsy Road," finally put on 45 a year after the release of Long Cold Winter in July 1989, and backed by a live version of the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash," got to number 51 in September.

From her humble beginnings, Cinderella has made herself equally at home in literature, ballet, opera, art, movies, television and coloring books. In France she is Cendrillon, in Italy Cenerentola, in Germany Aschenbrödel, and in Russia Zolushka. Cinderella has been performed as pantomimes, operas, ballets, feriées and musicals, which in turn have inspired film and television versions. Although with a shorter history than the fairy tale, there have been as many adaptations of Cinderella on stage as in literature.

It’s raining Cinderella s at the Met—11 performances in a row of James Kudelka’s version, which was born in Toronto two years ago. (Kudelka was then artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada; now he’s its resident choreographer.) Presumably, A.B.T.

As early as 1870, the Bolshoi in Moscow had suggested to Tchaikovsky that Cinderella would be an ideal subject for a ballet, but the plans for the piece were never carried out. Later, the composer Asafyev, a great friend of Prokofiev... planned a Cinderella but it similarly never materialized.
