The English National Ballet present Cinderella at Manchester’s Palace Theatre as it continues its 70th anniversary season tour.
English National Ballet was founded in 1950 as London Festival Ballet by the great English Dancers Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin, since playing a huge role in the growth and history of ballet in the UK.
Following Christopher Wheeldon’s colourful in-the-round restaging of Cinderella for performances at the Royal Albert Hall in June 2019, English National Ballet bring the proscenium arch version of the ballet to Manchester’s Palace Theatre next week.
