Set to Sergei Prokofiev's classic score, the Bolshoi Ballet performs in this color motion picture from 1961. Review: PERFECTION - If I could rate this production a 10 I would. I bought this production after the lame production my wife and I saw this year at Ballet West in Salt Lake City. The ballet is one of our favorites and we were extremely disappointed with the Ballet West production. I went to desertcart and found this production and it sounded great. We finally watched it and there are no words to describe this creative, elegant, energetic, well acted and danced production. There is magic around every corner and many surprises that I haven't seen in previous productions. Act One serves up an energetic and well edited 30 minute scene with a very cruel step mother and step sisters who are actually played by young ladies who are fabulous dancers. The Fairy Godmother does little dancing, but great moving on stage. She captures the stage with her presence. Magic is plentiful when the sets move to reveal a magical night complete with mouse and lizard dancing and preparing a most compelling Cinderella for the ball. Just when I thought there couldn't be more magic, Act Two presents magic from the first note to the last. The sets and costumes blend well together using the night's sky and stars on the pillars of the castle and the costumes reflected the magic of the night in blacks, purples, dark blues and silver. The pillars keep changing according to what is happening on stage. The step mother and sisters are excellent in this energetic and well edited scene. But the magic doesn't end there. It proceeds until this massive clock appears with working gears as Cinderella is pulled between her promise to the Fairy Godmother and her love for prince. Well danced, romantic, sensitive and very hilarious, but never over the top. Act Three combines magic, comedy, and finally the young couple dancing together in a Jane Austin romantic feel among clouds and golden stars. Amazing. There are no words to describe this perfect production. There will never be another production as wonderful. If you love ballet and love Cinderella, you will love this. Buy it NOW! Review: A Very Interesting Ballet Movie Classic! - First of all, this is from 1961 and is a very fine example of the Russian cinema from that period. It is in color with beautiful camera work, special effects of the period, and great acting. The camera gives us many closeups to show facial reactions. The image and sound quality are very good and typical of movies from that period. If you have been spoiled by the technical perfection of image and sound quality of today's digital products, you may not want this. I have met many people that tell me they refuse to watch any of the older movies for this reason! I, for one, am very glad to have these classics available to me(as I was growing up, I only heard about classic movies, but could never see them!). The performance, itself, is quite good with very interesting choreography. All the female parts are danced on pointe, including the ugly sisters, the mother and even the fairy godmother. We are also given the fairies of the seasons here with solos for each of them. The famous ballerina, Yekaterina Maximova, dances the role of the Spring fairy. The Prince is played by Gennadi Lediakh and he gives a very impressive performance with some extremely challenging solo variations(his opening solo includes an eleven-turn pirouette!). This was the period at the Bolshoi that was strongly influenced by Asaf Messerer(Maya Plisetskaya's uncle) who helped bring the Bolshoi into the modern age of classical technique. Cinderella is danced by Raisa Struchkova and she shows us a very convincing and spirited character. Keeping in mind that this is from a bygone era, I highly recommend it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 251 Reviews | ## Images ![Cinderella - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bCa1aOggL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PERFECTION *by L***S on September 6, 2013* If I could rate this production a 10 I would.

Keeping in mind that this is from a bygone era, I highly recommend it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Version *by P***N on June 16, 2014* Choosing a DVD of Prokofiev's "Cinderella" to purchase can be a difficult and confusing process. There are many factors to consider: (1) The only constant is Prokofiev's music, but this is often abridged, rearranged or has additional music added. (2) When at home, Cinderella dances in her bare feet.....OR in pointe shoes. (3) Living with Cinderella, besides her stepsisters, is her father.....OR her stepmother.....OR her father and stepmother. (4) Cinderella's stepsisters are danced by men.....OR women. (5) The stepsisters perform beautiful comedy.....OR the comedy is underplayed.....OR the comedy becomes buffoonery. (6) The story takes place in fairy-tale days of old (traditional).....OR in Hollywood.....OR in the United States during the depression.....OR in a doll house with the Fairy Godmother being a robot.....OR with Cinderella being a trainee in a ballet school.....OR any other situation that the particular artistic director desires. (7) There is much choreography, especially in the beginning of the ballet, that is quite simiple, but as the ballet progresses, the choreography allows the dancers to show their skills.....OR the choreography is simplfied.....OR the choreography is somewhere in between. (8) Besides the ballet itself, the DVD has extras.....OR it does not. (9) There are copious notes included with the DVD.....OR there is practically nothing. I have seen several live productions of "Cinderalla," but I have only two on DVD: The Royal Ballet with Antoinette Sibley and Anthony Dowell, and The Birmingham Royal Ballet with Elisha Willis and Iain Mackay. This is how I feel that those two fare with the above factors. (1) The Royal Ballet (RB) eliminates the beginning of Act 3 with regard to the search, and starts with the Prince arriving at Cinderella's house. The Birmingham Royal Ballet (BRB) eliminates most of that search and then goes to Cinderella's house. (2) With the RB, Cinderella dances at home in pointe shoes; with the BRB she dances in her bare feet. (3) The RB has Cinderella living with her father; the BRB has her living with her stepmother. (4) The stepsisters are danced by men in the RB production and by women in the BRB production. (5) The stepsisters perform beautiful comedy with the RB, but this comedy, with the BRB, is more to the silly side and does not compare to that of the RB, especially in the Dance of the Oranges. In fact, the stepsisters dance much too well for the parts they are playing with the BRB production. (6) Both DVDs have the story take place in a traditional time period. (7) The choreography for both versions is simple where required and allows the dancers to show their skills when that is required. The RB version is choreographed by Frederic Ashton, and the BRB version is choreographed by David Bintley. (8) Neither DVD has any notes. They both have just one sheet of paper which has arbitrarily divided the ballet into tracks. Although these tracks are named, they have nothing to do with the actual names of the dances being performed since many of the dances are combined to form each of the tracks. The reason for this is that both DVDs were issued by Kultur. Kultur is infamous in that they never include anything worthwhile with their DVDs, a total lack of consideration for the purchasers of their DVDs. Just look at the ballet DVDs issued by Opus Arte, Bel Air Classiques, TDK, Arthaus Musik and EuroArts to name more than just a few. Kultur is an absolute disgrace. (9) Neither DVD contains any extras, and this, once again, is an example of Kultur's apparent disregard of the wants and needs of ballet lovers. This lack of extras is even more surprising with regard to the BRB's DVD since I have the Blu-ray version, and a Blu-ray DVD is able to contain much more material than an ordinary DVD. I admit that I have not seen all, or even many, of the DVDs that are available, but my favorite version, based upon what I have seen live and the two DVDs that I have, is the RB version, mainly because the fantastic portrayal of the stepsisters by Frederic Ashton and Robert Helpmann. This is by no means an attempt to slight the BRB version which is also very good. The RB DVD is not Blu-ray, but the quality of the picture is quite good considering that it was made in 1969. The beautiful comedy does so much for the ballet, but it does not go over the top as I have seen in one live production recently. The stepsisters in that production made the Keystone Cops look like serious drama. I would love to see a new, Blu-ray, production of the Frederic Ashton version by the Royal Ballet. Although I believe the quality of the dancing to be very high in both DVDs, I will leave a technical analysis of this to those who are much more expert in this field than I. I don't think you will go wrong with either choice. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/772245-cinderella](https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/772245-cinderella) --- *Product available on Desertcart Grenada* *Store origin: GD* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
