 A Masterpiece of Creative Interpretation!Apr 24, 2005
By M. F TERRIS
Marin and the Lyon National Opera Ballet have brought unique insight, humor, and to Prokofiev's musical joy, Cinderella. They have breathed new life into the tale, now seen through the eyes of a young girl as the dance of her dolls in their dollhouse. BLee correctly states that the faces of the dancers are hidden beneath their dolls' masks; some perform as wooden dolls -- others as dolls of cloth and china. But far from detracting from the individuality of the dancers, Marin has provided each "doll" with distinctive movements and steps enhancing and expressing that character's individuality. It is comparable in insight and creative power to Kylian's L'Enfant et les Sortileges.
I have bought and watched this disc on HDTV with a 5.1 channel audio system. The image is clear and sharp (though only 4:3), and the colors vibrant despite the 1989 recording date. Its sound quality is rich despite the limitations of dolby 2.0. By contrast, the Shilling/Berlin Comic DVD of Cinderella is a disaster -- with washed out images and sound. Though well danced and choreographed, it lacks Marin's originality and genius.

Not all dancers look anorexicMar 23, 2012
By Edwin J. Kindred
Lyon has provided a home for dancers with an appetite, and the French call us disgustingly overweight which unfortunately is a mea culpa. The prince looks like a naive dullard. The fairy godwhatever looks like a fugitive from George Lucas with the appearance of a sword carrying Christmas tree. The music is glorious and the performance is hilarious. When the princes reps come with the glass slipper and evil stepmother hides cinder chick by sitting on her, the sight of step mummy rising in the air to reveal cindergal is priceless. It seemed to drag occasionally and that may be due to the fixed doll expressions but overall it is a delightful, memorable experience

 Skip This!Apr 10, 2005
By BLee

This is very dull. Often, personification makes things so much more interesting. Here the process is reverse and so is the effect. It is most unnatural, not being able to see the dancers faces or expressions. And even their movements and actions mimic those of wooden dolls. Photograhy is poor too. Just terrible! The music is quite alright though.
