When a fairy tale begins to dance: Cinderella in Augsburg

On November 21, 2026, the curtain will rise in Augsburg for Cinderella – Ricardo Fernando's artistic reinterpretation of the famous fairy tale with music by Sergei Prokofiev. The Augsburg Ballet combines fairy-tale imagery with modern movement language and tells the story of a young woman who, despite humiliation, retains her courage, hope, and belief in love.

Prokofiev's fairy-tale world between poetry and drama

The score by Sergei Prokofiev, composed during the war years of 1941 to 1944, lends a special tension to the story: lyrical tenderness meets grotesque character depiction, rhythmic energy meets bright musical colors. At the center is Cinderella, who, after her mother's death, faces the hardness of her stepmother and her daughters. Her inner strength forms the dramatic core of this ballet production.

A contemporary choreography with a classical heart

Ballet director Ricardo Fernando takes on staging and choreography and translates the well-known material into a modern stage language. Classical ballet tradition meets contemporary movement aesthetics; clear body lines, dynamic ensembles, and poetic moments create a stage experience that does not perceive fairy-tale magic as a nostalgic escape but as a force of humanity.

Set design, costumes, and sound as narrative forces

The set design and costumes by Pascal Seibicke create the visual framework for a world between everyday pressure and fairy-tale transformation. The Augsburg Philharmonic Orchestra accompanies the events live, giving the scenes their musical breath. Lighting moods, acoustics, and choreographic rhythm coalesce into a theatrical atmosphere where every step is a decision and every movement tells a piece of biography.

The fairy tale as a timeless story about dignity

Cinderella remains more than a love story. The production focuses on a young woman who asserts herself against social degradation and does not lose her empathy. The dramaturgy connects the archetypal fairy tale motif with a contemporary perspective on self-determination, hope, and the possibility of a new beginning.

Conclusion: A sensual ballet for fairy-tale lovers and dance fans

The audience can expect a colorful stage experience with Prokofiev's great ballet music, powerful bodily acting, and a modern choreographic signature. Those who know Cinderella not just from stories but wish to experience the fairy tale in movement, sound, and light will find in Augsburg an evening full of poetry, tension, and dance energy.
