Abstract
"Nureyev's innovative new production of Cinderella transports Perrault's classic tale from the realm of the balls and princes into the Art Deco world that was Hollywood in the 1930's. Since the coming of the silver screen, young girls no longer dream of waltzing with a Prince Charming, but about the fame and glamour of becoming film stars, a concept which has allowed Nureyev and his designer, Ionesco, to open a treasure trove of artistic ideas, evoking Hollywood imagery with its attendant nostalgia"--Slipcase.
