Cinde

Cinderella is working hard while her Stepmother and Stepsisters are preparing for a magnificent ball given by the prince of the land. Cinderella’s Father has fallen on hard times. He likes to drink with his friends, which makes Cinderella’s Stepmother angry. She becomes even more furious when she sees Cinderella taking a portrait of her dead mother from its hiding place. She destroys the portrait and, along with Cinderella’s Stepsisters, upbraids the poor girl cruelly. A dance teacher visits to teach the Stepmother and Stepsisters graceful steps, and hairdressers arrive to give them splendid styles and help them on with their finery. Only Cinderella is left out, and when the Stepmother and Stepsisters set off, she is disconsolate. She takes solace in her dreams, imagining she is dancing at the ball. The Fairy Godmother sees her sorrow and takes pity on her. Eccentrically disguised and accompanied by celestial bodies – sun, moon, planets, stars – she visits Cinderella and transforms her rags into a sumptuous ball gown. Before the planets transport her to the ball, the Fairy Godmother warns her Cinderella is working hard while her Stepmother and Stepsisters are preparing for a magnificent ball given by the prince of the land.
