The Moscow Festival Ballet was founded in 1989 when legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, Sergei Radchenko, sought to realize his vision of a company which would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies in an independent new company within the framework of Russian classic ballet.

Leading dancers from across Russia have forged under Radchenko’s direction in an exciting new company staging a new production of the timeless classic Cinderella. This enchanting story will come to the Clay Center stage on Saturday, May 12.
