The performance is a result of cooperation between the city’s opera house and Norway’s Transposition Programme.

“Cinderella” is one of the two ballets most popularly anticipated by children each year.

This performance is choreographed by Johanne Jakhelln Constant from Norway in a collaboration programme with Transposition, aiming to support the development of classical art in Vietnam. The assistant choreographer is Vietnam’s Nguyen Phuc Hung.
