Opulence!
The costumes of Aschenbrödels Traum (Cinderella’s Dream) whirl through the ages. In the fairy tale, the poor Cinderella becomes a beautiful princess in order to attend the prince’s ball. Our fairy-tale operetta tells the story of Cinderella in a completely new way. On stage, you’ll meet not one but two Cinderellas—each living in a different time period.
Two Cinderellas in one show!
The talented seamstress Grete dreams of becoming a fashion designer and creates breathtaking new dresses. But her stepmother and two stepsisters mock her—until the painter Leon enters her life. The other Cinderella is named Niklas. This young man also lives with his stepmother and his wicked stepsisters. When he falls in love with the gifted football player Danny, he experiences his own Cinderella story—one that ultimately leads all the way to the Opera Ball!
Opulent costumes to marvel at
A fairy-tale operetta in which the world of fashion—with its salons, dress designs, disguises, and lavish balls—plays such a central role naturally calls for costumes that are as imaginative as they are spectacular.
The award-winning costume designer Alfred Mayerhofer, who most recently designed the costumes for the opera Alma at the Volksoper, has created designs for Aschenbrödels Traum (Cinderella’s Dream) that connect and intertwine different eras—from 1899 to the present day—while forming a distinctive stage aesthetic. Colorful and imaginative, opulent and full of wit, his costumes give each character their own shape and flair. “Every protagonist in a production inhabits their own world, but in the end, everything must fit together harmoniously within the staging,” Alfred Mayerhofer once said in an interview about his work.
