The Music: Cult Classics Meet Musical Magic

A fairy tale that touches the heart

After her father's death, Cinderella lives with her strict stepmother, who, unlike her sister Dora, makes her work as a maid. Despite this, she dreams of freedom and adventure. One day, her path leads her into the snowy forest, where she meets the prince – a snowball, a laugh, a glance.

When the prince invites her to the ball, her stepmother forbids her from attending. Thanks to three magic hazelnuts, Cinderella manages to secretly attend the royal ball. During the dance, the prince has eyes only for her, but as the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella loses a shoe on the stairs. A moment that will change her fate forever.
