Ballet, Opera, Theatre

Cinderella: Footnotes: The Classics of Ballet with Frank Augus
Choreographed by Petipa, Ceccetti, Ivanov (1893)/Music by B. Fitinghof-Schell. This popular ballet was based on Perrault's classic fairy tale and became the cornerstone of the growth and development of The Royal Ballet in London.
Opera Easy: Hänsel und Gretel
The celebrated Grimm Brothers fairy tale is the inspiration for Engelbert Humperdinck’s most famous opera—and this segment of Opera Easy. With music of incredible charm and fantasy, the opera tells the story of two children who become lost in the forest and are captured by an evil witch. Thanks to the ingenuity and trickery of the children and the help of fairies and forest spirits, the captives escape her clutches and are reunited with their parents. (24 minutes)
