The ballets feature graduating dancers of outstanding potential from English National Ballet School in performances produced by English National Ballet. Cinderella is tormented by her stepsisters and she can only dream of attending the Prince's glamourous ball. Abandoned to an evening of drudgery, she is visited by her Fairy Godmother who transforms her into a glittering Princess who shall go to the ball.
