Royal Opera House Live: Cinderella

A new production of the much-loved Royal Ballet fairytale classic.

Royal Ballet Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella celebrates its 75th anniversary this Season.

The ballet’s opening night in 1948, featuring Moira Shearer and Michael Somes in the lead roles, was received rapturously. After over a decade away from the Royal Opera House stage, Ashton’s timeless reworking of Charles Perrault’s famous rags-to-riches story returns, showcasing the choreographer’s deft musicality and the beauty of Prokofiev’s transcendent score.

A creative team steeped in the magic of theatre, film, dance and opera brings new atmosphere to Cinderella’s ethereal world of fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages, handsome princes and finding true love.

The Man who Left the Titanic

Presented by Isosceles in association with Useful Idiots.

She was beautiful... she was unsinkable... she was doomed...

The Titanic was declared the greatest ship in the world. On 15th April 1912 it slipped below the frigid waters of the Atlantic.

Yet J Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, stepped into a lifeboat and sailed away from the stricken ship. He sailed away from his passengers, sailed away from the cries and screams and tears.

The Man Who Left The Titanic evokes that terrible voyage. It asks whether Bruce Ismay only did what any of us might have done in the same circumstances or should his actions that night consign his name to infamy? Was he a coward, or merely human?

This play has toured throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales for a number of years to enormous acclaim.

'The much respected Isosceles Company are undoubtedly multi-talented and this production must be one of their most thought-provoking. I would encourage you to get tickets' Irish News

'It is captivating, moving and totally engrossing’ Titanic Stories, Belfast

‘When the play ended the audience leaped to their feet with an unending round of applause. Outstanding, the entire audience was spellbound from beginning to end' Titanic International Society
