"Christopher Wheeldon goes from strength to strength. His track record at the Royal Ballet is outstanding: a dozen one-act ballets of real distinction; a full-length ballet, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, that proved to be such a success that it returns in 2013 for a third successive year. And now comes a new co-production for the ballet companies in Amsterdam and San Francisco which proves that the 39-year-old British choreographer truly is at the top of his game ... a vibrant piece of theatre and an enchanting love story rolled into a hugely entertaining whole.
Key to the production’s success is the extraordinary stage pictures evoked by the British designer Julian Crouch, here making his first foray into ballet. His sets and costumes consume the stage with mouthwatering candy-coloured frocks, vivid architectural vistas and breathtaking masks that evoke strange creatures of the forest." (The Times)
"After a convoluted start, Christopher Wheeldon's narrative offers magic in every sphere - design, choreography, and orchestra. Anna Tsyganova's Cinderella is charming." (BBC Music Magazine ★★★★)
