Cinderella returns to the Artscape Opera stage
Following the groundbreaking Mozart and Salieri, Cape Town City Ballet (CTCB) will next present Cinderella at the Artscape Opera House from 5 to 21 October 2018. The production will incorporate new digital elements by design luminary Peter Cazalet who returns to once again work alongside Veronica Paeper, a creative coup by Acting Executive Director Tracy Li.
Cinderella is presented in three acts and set to Prokofiev’s stirring score, played by the Cape Town Philharmonic at select performances and conducted by Brandon Phillips.
International guest artist Maxime Quiroga returns from France to dance the role of Prince Charming opposite CTCB’s senior principal ballerina Laura Bosenberg.
Quiroga, seen most recently in the title role of Marc Goldberg’s Mozart and Salieri, will alternate with Daniel Szybkowski and Conrad Nusser while the role of Cinderella will be shared between Bosenberg, Kirstel Paterson and Mariette Opperman. The Fairy Godmother will be danced by Caitlin Smith, Leane Theunissen, Claire Spector and Hannah Ward. Buttons will be danced by Tusile Tenza, Craig Pedro and Stephen Underwood, all three of whom, with Jordan Roelfze, share the role of the Jester. The Dancing Master will be performed by Craig Pedro and Stephen Underwood.

Choreographer – Veronica Paeper,
Paeper, who will also direct this production, first choreographed Cinderella for CAPAB Ballet in 1975 and, like Cazalet, will re-work aspects of the charming, feel-good classic that has enchanted dance audiences around the world for decades. In a move that is sure to delight Capetonian balletomanes, she has cast former CAPAB and CTCB ballerina Janet Lindup into the deliciously over-the-top role of the ugly sister Daffodil performing opposite Johnny Bovang and Mervyn Williams who share the role of Violet. Both roles are typically taken by males and there’s no doubt Lindup’s sense of humor will bring a refreshing change and will be a delightful addition to the stellar lineup.
