Product description:
Aschenbrödel (Cinderella)
Ballet and orchestra of the Vienna State Opera
Music by Johann Strauss II
Costumes and stage design by Christian Lacroix
Chroeography by Renato Zanella
A rare ballet treat, Johann Strauss's comic "Cinderella" takes place around New Year's Eve in turn-of-century Vienna. Act One is set in Madame Leontine's fashion studio where preparations are being made for a fancy New Year's Eve ball. Act Two is the ball itself. Act Three, Scene One returns to Mdame Leontine's; Scene Two is in the bridal-gown department of the "Four Seasons" department store. The traditional story is loosely followed through various high jinks and Strauss's effervescent music. Johann Strauss appears in Act One disguised as an Italian street musician, while Madame Leontine is a drag queen. Gorgeous costumes, scintillating music, and brilliant dancing mark this spectactular 1999 production.
DVD 122 minutes, first DVD release, 2007
