The State Ballet Theatre's production of the world's favorite rags-to-riches story premiered in 2006 to critical acclaim and was heralded by the New York Times which wrote: "As an overall production Cinderella was full of enchantment ... this fairy tale came to life (with) lovely scenery (and) graceful costumes."
Formed in 1961, the State Ballet Theatre of Russia has established itself as one of Russia's leading ballet companies by building an international reputation for delivering performances of outstanding quality and depth.

Vasiliev is now regarded as one of the ballet world's most distinguished choreographers, teachers and scholars.
