The musical brings this magic back to life: from sparkling snowy landscapes to the magnificent castle, to the glittering ball where Cinderella and the prince find each other in a touching way.

The music: Cult meets musical magic. The iconic theme song by Karel Svoboda – a true goosebumps moment for generations – forms the musical foundation of the show.

A fairy tale that touches the heart. After the death of her father, Cinderella lives with her strict stepmother, who makes her work as a maid, unlike her sister Dora. Nevertheless, she dreams of freedom and adventure. One day, her path leads into the snowy forest, where she meets the prince – a snowball, a laugh, a glance.

When the prince invites her to the ball, her stepmother refuses to let her attend. Thanks to three magical hazelnuts, Cinderella manages to secretly participate in the royal ball. During the dance, the prince only has eyes for her, but when the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella loses a shoe on the stairs. A moment that will change her fate forever.
