A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.

The storytelling takes the audience into the heart of Prokofiev’s magnificent score and the sights and sounds of war-torn London.
