I've long preferred @wheeldondance #Cinderella over others, and he's done a fabulous job adapting it for @ENBallet at the @RoyalAlbertHall. I'd go as far as to suggest it's one of the best 'in-the-round' versions they've done there.#ENBCinderella @joe_caley22 @ErinaTakahashi_ https://t.co/TOCjViSGat

As we expected, @ENBallet @RoyalAlbertHall for Cinderella in-the-round was truly marvellous. Dinner in the Elgar Room before was delicious, if slightly chaotic. Journey home was a bit pumpkin-like!

Cinderella in the round @RoyalAlbertHall by @ENBallet is a gorgeous production. It glides across the floor. The colours & projections are transformative. It’s pure class guys! Christopher Weeldon is a masterful director-choreographer.

So glad I didn't miss this. It was fantastic. Wonderful dancing from principals and corps and the fates brought it all together. Beautifully staged with imaginative sets, puppetry, costumes, everything
— Jo (@Jo_Saxby) June 16, 2019
Christopher Wheeldon’s interpretation of Cinderella was magical, profound & a work of art. On a personal level, I was inspired by how the lighting & movement helped tell the story, & the athleticism of the #ballerinas made me want to become a stronger runner.

Grinning ear to ear from Christopher Wheeldon’s English National Ballet production of Cinderella at the Royal Albert Hall. The golden-faced fates were the stars of the show, but the choreography, staging and lighting were stunning for a wow performance in the round. pic.twitter.com/LyLxCi9oal

Time for Cinderella to go to the ball. 😏 My first visit to #London's Royal Albert Hall. 😍 Loved every second of the ballet. Also recommend arranging dessert & espresso martinis at interval. 👌#foodtravel #ballet pic.twitter.com/M12rQ0Q0N6
