A Fairytale in Harmony: Live Music Brings Cinderella to Life

This season, the magic of the stage came alive as our dancers stepped into the timeless tale of Cinderella, accompanied by the breathtaking sounds of the TX Symphonic Ballet orchestra. Our original production brought fresh choreography, vibrant storytelling, and unforgettable music together to reimagine the story we all know and love — the kind-hearted girl, the glass slipper, and the wish that changes everything.
From the moment the orchestra began the overture, the audience was swept into Cinderella’s world. The musicians, seated to the side created a lush soundscape that elevated every scene — from the tender moments between Cinderella and her fairy godmother to the swirling grandeur of the royal ball.
One of the most beautiful aspects of this performance was the true collaboration between movement and music. The dancers and musicians worked side-by-side in rehearsal, ensuring that every pirouette, lift, and gesture was perfectly in sync with the score. In some moments, it felt as though the music itself was dancing — a seamless partnership where sound and movement told the story together.
As the curtain fell and Cinderella’s fairytale ending unfolded, the joy on stage and in the pit was unmistakable. The applause was not only for the dancers in their sparkling costumes but also for the musicians whose melodies made the magic tangible.
This Cinderella was more than a ballet — it was a celebration of collaboration, community, and the magic that happens when live music meets storytelling. With every note played and every step danced, we were reminded why we bring these stories to life: to inspire, to connect, and to share beauty with our community.
