A thoroughly modern Cinderella centred around a quest for identity, true love and the courage to be yourself is being staged by the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company. 

Cinderella is the company's first national tour in more than a year, and the first production performed at its renovated home base, the St James Theatre in Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.

The new ballet, three years in the making, has been choreographed and composed by Kiwis Loughlan Prior and Claire Cowan.
