Performance Time	19:06
Orchestra or Band	London Symphony Orchestra
Conductors	Valery Gergiev
Set List	'Cinderella', Prokofiev
Performance Notes	A rare opportunity to hear Prokofievs generously melodic fairy-tale ballet score in its full glory. The composer began work on Cinderella in the spring of 1940 but, with the onset of war, his compositional priorities changed and he did not tackle the orchestration for another four years. It proved to be one of the musics most original features, evoking an alluringly strange, silvery sound-world. First performance of Prokofiev's 'Cinderella' at the proms. There will be one interval (following Act 2).
