Cinderella
It's true what they say. A new pair of shoes and a posh frock really can change your life. Conductor Valery Gergiev recently packed up the members of the London Symphony Orchestra, spiffed them up, and whisked them off to a music festival in the south of France. They could only stay a short while, so what better piece to play than the ballet "Cinderella," by Sergei Prokofiev? We'll hear highlights from that magical evening in today's show.
