The Joffrey Ballet Presents CINDERELLA, Opens 1/28/2010

The 2009-2010 season of Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center continues its seventh season with The Joffrey Ballet's return to the Music Center with Sir Frederick Ashton's "Cinderella," considered one of his greatest full-length ballets. Performed in three acts, the classic rags-to-riches story comes to life in a stunning ballet set to Serge Prokofiev's brilliant score, with breathtaking sets and costumes designed by David Walker. The Joffrey Ballet's "Cinderella" is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes long, and is recommended for ages 5 and up. 

Tickets for The Joffrey Ballet's "Cinderella" are available through Ticketmaster Phone Charge at (800) 982-2787, at all Ticketmaster Outlets and online at www.ticketmaster.com. For groups of 15 or more, visit www.musiccenter.org.

The Joffrey Ballet has been hailed as "America's Ballet Company of Firsts." The Joffrey Ballet's long list of "firsts" includes first dance company to perform at the White House at Jacqueline Kennedy's invitation, first to appear on television, first American company to visit Russia, first classical dance company to go multi-media, first to commission a rock ‘n roll Ballet and first and only dance company to appear on the cover of Time Magazine.

For more than a half-century, The Joffrey Ballet's commitment to taking world-class, artistically vibrant work to a broad and varied audience has created a solid foundation that continues to support the company's unprecedented capacity for achieving important "firsts." Today, the Joffrey, which has been hugely successful in its former residencies in New York and Los Angeles, lives permanently in a brilliant new facility, Joffrey Tower, in the heart of America, Chicago, Illinois. The company's commitment to accessibility is met through the most extensive touring schedule of any dance company in history, an innovative and highly effective education program and collaborations with myriad other visual and performing arts organizations.

Classically trained to the highest standards, The Joffrey Ballet expresses a unique, inclusive perspective on dance, proudly reflecting the diversity of America with its company, audiences, and repertoire which includes major story ballets, reconstructions of masterpieces and contemporary works. Founded by visionary teacher Robert Joffrey in 1956, guided by celebrated choreographer Gerald Arpino from 1988 until 2007, The Joffrey Ballet continues to thrive under internationally renowned Artistic Director Ashley C. Wheater who was recruited as a dancer in 1985 by Joffrey and Arpino before returning to lead the company in 2007 after a heralded tenure at San Francisco Ballet. The Joffrey Ballet has become one of the world's most revered and recognizable arts organizations in America and one of the top ballet companies in the world.
