Una reinvención moderna del cuento tradicional de la niña huérfana con una madrastra malvada.

Viaja con el Royal Ballet a un mundo encantado de princesas y hadas madrinas en la histórica producción de Marius Petipa con música de Tchaikovski. Esta producción de la Bella Durmiente lleva deleitando al público de Covent Garden desde 1946. Un clásico del ballet ruso que coronó al Royal Ballet en su nueva sede, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, como gran compañía a nivel mundial. Sesenta años después, en 2006, se ha rescatado la puesta en escena original, volviendo a los magníficos diseños de Oliver Messel y a los deslumbrantes trajes. La gran partitura de Pyotr Il’Yich Tchaikovski y la coreografía original de Marius Petipa combinan a la perfección con las variaciones creadas para The Royal Ballet por Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell y Christopher Wheeldon. Un ballet que hechiza a todo aquel que lo ve.

Maléfica: Maestra del mal, de Disney, es una aventura de fantasía que retoma la historia de Maléfica varios años más tarde —en la que se dieron a conocer los hechos que endurecieron el corazón de la villana más emblemática de Disney y la llevaron a arrojar una maldición sobre la princesa recién nacida: Aurora. La película continúa explorando la compleja relación entre el hada de enormes cuernos y la futura reina, mientras forjan nuevas alianzas y se enfrentan a nuevos adversarios en su lucha por proteger el páramo y las criaturas mágicas que lo habitan.

Sergei Prokofiev's setting of the fairy tale "Cinderella" premiered at Moscow's Bolshoi Theater in 1945. In 1986, Rudolf Nureyev, then ballet director of the Paris Opera, choreographed the ballet anew and transposed the story into a private cinema, with sets reminiscent of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis." ARTE shows the Paris Opera performance from December 31, 2018.

Divested of its traditional attributes – glass slipper and pumpkin carriage – and dominated by a tyrannical stepfather instead of a cruel stepmother, Rossini’s la Cenerentola plays with these most conventional of fairy‑tale characters. Nonetheless Cinderella lives in a closed world devoid of tenderness and under the yoke of the tormentor whom she protects. Deep beneath her goodness smoulders a fire that her encounter with the prince will set free… Guillaume Gallienne subtly highlights the halftones of this dramma giocoso, somewhere between opera buffa and opera seria, and ranging from sombre melancholy to the burlesque.

The 2017–18 Live in HD season concluded with an enchanted performance of Cendrillon, Massenet’s glittering operatic adaptation of the Cinderella story. This charming staging by Laurent Pelly, which bursts to life with the director’s characteristic wit and whimsy, stars American mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato as the title outcast-turned-princess. Mezzo-soprano Alice Coote offers a touching portrayal of the pants role Prince Charming, while soprano Kathleen Kim shines as the Fairy Godmother. Mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe, as the outlandish Madame de la Haltière, and bass-baritone Laurent Naouri, as the haggard Pandolfe, round out the principal cast. On the podium, conductor Bertrand de Billy leads a performance that is equal parts madcap comedy and heartfelt romance.

En el reino de Letonia, el joven príncipe Egon pasa sus noches tocando la batería. De día, sólo una idea ronda su cabeza: internarse en el reino de Kentz para encontrar a la Bella Durmiente y romper el hechizo. Pero su padre, el rey, incrédulo de las leyendas, se opone totalmente.

Cuenta las andanzas de Ella, una joven cuyo padre, un comerciante, vuelve a casarse tras enviudar. Para agradar a su padre, acoge con cariño a su madrastra y a sus hijas en la casa familiar. Pero, cuando su padre muere inesperadamente, la joven queda a merced de unas mujeres celosas y malvadas que la convierten en sirvienta y la relegan a la cocina. Pero, a pesar de la crueldad con la que la tratan, está dispuesta a cumplir las últimas palabras de su madre que le dijo que debía "ser valiente y amable".

Valery Gergiev conducts Mariusz Trelinski’s thrilling new production of these rarely heard one-act operas. Anna Netrebko stars as the blind princess of the title in Tchaikovsky’s lyrical work, opposite Piotr Beczala as Vaudémont, the man who wins her love—and wakes her desire to be able to see. Nadja Michael and Mikhail Petrenko are Judith and Bluebeard in Bartók’s gripping psychological thriller about a woman discovering her new husband’s murderous past.

Rossini’s charming take on the Cinderella story features a brilliant cast, led by bel canto stars Joyce DiDonato in the title role and Juan Diego Flórez as her Prince Charming. Alessandro Corbelli delivers a comic tour de force as Don Magnifico, Cinderella’s stepfather. Pietro Spagnoli is Dandini, the Prince’s valet, who, disguised as his master, puts the prospective brides to the text, and Luca Pisaroni is the philosopher Alidoro, who takes the place of the fairy godmother. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leads Cesare Lievi’s whimsical production.

In this resplendent and magical classic, the Bolshoi dancers - including David Hallberg in his Bolshoi debut - take us on a dream-like journey through this classic fairy tale complete with jewel fairies, a magical kingdom, a youthful princess and a handsome prince in this purest style of classical ballet. The Bolshoi’s sumptuous staging with its luxurious sets and costumes gives life to Perrault’s fairy tale unlike any other. This performance of Sleeping Beauty was filmed as a sort of celebration of the grand reopening of the Bolshoi Theater's Main Stage (it had been closed for several years for a refurbishment).

Mucho antes de que conociera a Shrek, el conocido espadachín, amante y fuera de la ley Gato con Botas se convierte en un héroe al emprender una aventura junto a la dura y espabilada Kitty Zarpassuaves y el astuto Humpty Dumpty para salvar a su pueblo. Complicándoles las cosas por el camino están los infames forajidos Jack y Jill, que harán cualquier cosa para que Gato y su banda no lo consigan.

Massenet composed his opera about Cenerentola nearly 80 years after Rossini did his. And if you are looking for the outburst of the non-stop hilarity and the musical jokes of Rossini, you won't find it here. Also, while the Cendrillon was highly successful and popular in its time, it does not reach up to the artistic and musical levels offered by Massenet's other operas, like Manon, or Thais or Werther. Nevertheless, this is a delightful opera and it is well presented by The Royal Opera. Laurent Pelly created a ingenious setting with movable walls which are covered [in French] with the story of Cinderella, and which open and close book-like.

Una joven princesa es objeto de un tira y afloja entre hechiceras, que se esfuerzan por encontrar el antídoto adecuado para la sentencia de muerte impuesta por una colega maligna. El cuento archi-conocido prosigue y Breillat integra en su narración varias mitologías del mundo acerca de mujercitas en peligro. La heroína encuentra su camino de vuelta a la civilización tanto a través de sus sueños como de la proyección de deseos. Un capítulo particularmente conmovedor la encuentra instalada en una familia común y corriente, enamorada de un muchacho mayor y cuidada por una cariñosa madre adoptiva. Pero no olvidemos que éste es un film de Breillat, así que la felicidad no puede durar. Breillat toma prestados tropos bizarros de otros cuentos antiguos, agregando a la colección de personajes gobernantes albinos, jefes de estación enanos, bandidos gitanos y animales encantados.

Con ambientación austera y simples recursos de montaje, Catherine Breillat desarrolla una sencilla pero entrañable versión del clásico de Charles Perrault. A una de las hermanas, Catherine, le gusta asustar a la otra, Marie-Anne, con cuentos de hadas e insiste con la lectura de Barba Azul. El relato de fines del siglo XVII se empieza a desarrollar en la pantalla. Otras dos hermanas cayeron en desgracia económica. Después de meditarlo, la más joven accede a casarse con el acaudalado Barba Azul, aún desagradable como es, aún desconociendo el paradero de sus siete mujeres anteriores. Cuando éste sale de viaje, ella sólo tiene que respetar la prohibición de entrar al cuarto misterioso del castillo. Pero la curiosidad de las hermanas abre camino al esperado horror. Breillat consigue representar el crudo y sangriento desenlace y mantener el tono de frescura y ensueño juvenil de las jóvenes en París de los años 50.

"Irresistible" (Opera News) rising-star mezzo Elina Garanca triumphs as Rossini's Cinderella in this delightful Metropolitan Opera production. "As close to pure joy as you will find in a big-time opera house" (New Yorker), conquering audiences and critics alike, "Garanca has a gorgeous voice that she uses with exceptional skill, melting tenderness; but when the part calls for coloratura fireworks, she unleashes a flawless technique and ringing high notes of impressive power" (Associated Press). Filmed in High Definition Widescreen.

Cuando Shrek y la princesa Fiona regresan de su luna de miel, los padres de ella los invitan a visitar el reino de Muy Muy Lejano para celebrar la boda. Para Shrek, al que nunca abandona su fiel amigo Asno, esto constituye un gran problema.

Todo esto trastoca los planes del rey respecto al futuro del reino. Pero entonces entran en escena la maquiavélica Hada Madrina, su arrogante hijo el Príncipe Encantador y un minino muy especial: el Gato con Botas, experto cazador de ogros.

Durante la Edad Media, la pequeña Danielle, huérfana de madre, ha encontrado en los libros y en el amor de su padre el refugio ideal, pero tras trágica muerte se convierte siendo una niña en la criada de su nueva madrastra. Por si fuera poco, sus dos hermanastras son realmente crueles con ella. Pero con el tiempo Danielle crece y se convierte en una damisela cuyo destino se cruzará fortuitamente con el príncipe Henry.

A timeless tale told in a florid bel canto style, Rossini’s take on the Cinderella story offers an ideal propellant for a virtuosic mezzo-soprano to rocket from rags to riches. But in this retelling, the supporting characters soar just as high: Cinderella’s Prince, her stepfather, and the Prince’s valet are given memorable arias, and the composer rounds out his score with ingenious ensemble flourishes. A vivacious masterpiece, La Cenerentola brings stock fairy tale characters to dazzling life.

In a faraway kingdom, the king and queen had desired a child of their very own for a long time and when their wish finally came true, they announced a grand celebration at the palace. All of the fairies from the kingdom were invited and immediately named as godmothers for their new child, whose name was Felicity, which means "happiness".

Cinderella, the beautiful and kind-hearted girl who lives with her greedy stepmother and two selfish stepsisters, charms a handsome prince when her fairy godmother sends her to the royal ball. She must leave the ball by midnight before all the magic is gone, but Cinderella has so much fun that she forgets all about the warning, and when she flees the castle she leaves behind one glass slipper. Cinderella, originally released directly to video in 1994, is a 48-minute animated film adapted from the classic fairy tale, "Cinderella" by Charles Perrault. The movie was produced by Jetlag Productions and was distributed to DVD in 2002 by GoodTimes Entertainment as part of their "Collectible Classics" line.

A cat belonging to a poor miller's son thinks up a great plan for bringing a title, wealth, and marriage for his owner. He begins to carry it out, using a few birds and rabbits as gifts for the king, his own wit, and a pair of boots that make him appear human when he puts them on. However, his owner has no idea that the cat has told everyone that his master is a marquis rather than a miller's son until the king has arrived to meet him. Soon the king's daughter and the miller's son fall in love, and the king wants very much to see the land and the castle belonging to this rich "marquis."

La Cenerentola is Gioachino Rossini's version of the popular Cinderella story, an exciting mixture of comedy, pathos, coloratura fireworks and masquerade. This Glyndebourne production by John Cox captures perfectly the fairy-tale spirit of the piece, matched by Allen Charles Klein's imaginative scenery, distorted like three-dimensional cut-outs in an old-fashioned story book.

The Prince, Don Ramiro (who has changed places with his valet, Dandini), meets Cenerentola and they are instantly attracted to each other. When the Philosopher, Alidoro, later takes Cenerentola (dressed in magnificent clothing) to the palace, Dandini (still posing as the prince) tries to talk of love to her, but Cenerentola rejects him, saying that she is in love with his 'valet'. Ramiro, who has overheard this comment, is overjoyed, and immediately proposes to her, but Cenerentola says that he must first seek her out and then, if he still felt the same way, she would marry him. She gives him one of a matching pairs of bracelets, telling him to look for its companion on her right arm (she then leaves the palace). Ramiro ends the masquerade, and he and Dandini resume their true identities. The Prince then sets out on his quest - little realising that destiny, in the form of a violent thunderstorm, is about to take a hand in the affair.

Just before wowing international critics and moviegoers with his adventure romp Fanfan la Tulipe, director Christian-Jaque dashed off the lampoonish Barbe-Bleue. Ostensibly the story of the famed wife-killing potentate Bluebeard (Pierre Brasseur), this lighthearted costumer begins as the title character is poised to march down the matrimonial aisle for the eighth time. Barbe-Bleue's newest spouse Aline (Cécile Aubry) is kept in line by her husband's claims of murdering her predecessors. But when Aline opens the famous locked door to the equally famous hidden room, both she and the audience are in for quite a surprise. The frivolous nature of Barbe-Bleue is underlined by its pleasing utilization of the French Gezacolor process.
