Ballet Dream-Team Create Sparkling New Cinderella
The ‘dream team’ have reunited to create a spectacular new ballet – the Ryman Healthcare Season of Cinderella.

Choreographers from three continents share New Zealand stages this winter in Bold Moves - a magnificent mixed bill of daring works by the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Definitive danceworks from three different decades, each piece offers a rare glimpse into bold and boundary-defying choreographers who captured the zeitgeist through dance.
