Roles and original cast

History

Although the libretto of this work was greatly criticized by the St. Petersburg critics balletomanes for putting more emphasis on spectacle and dancing than on drama and story-telling, the production was still an enormous success, particularly with the début of the Italian ballerina Pierina Legnani, who according to one critic "...swept all before her." The most celebrated scene was the ball in the throne room of the castle in the second act, which included an elaborate Grand Pas d'action in the 19th century style for the characters Cinderella, the Prince, soloists, and the corps de ballet. Also successful was the spectacular Night tableaux of Act III, with the dancers and scenery for each respective number representing the Nile, Grenada and Paris beginning by rising out of a lake at the back of the stage with the wave of the Good Fairy's wand.

Notes

Fairy (brand)

Fairy is a brand of washing-up liquid produced by Procter & Gamble at their West Thurrock factory (The London Plant), in England, launched in 1950. Fairy liquid is traditionally green, prompting the well-known advertising jingle "Now hands that do dishes can feel as soft as your face with mild green Fairy Liquid".

As of 2015, Fairy is sold in most parts of Europe, although regional names vary. Fairy liquid is available in a variety of colour and scent combinations. The original white bottle with red cap was replaced with PET bottles.

In the UK, Fairy Liquid has become a genericized trademark for washing up liquid.

Fairy soap bars were originally manufactured by Thomas Hedley Co. of Newcastle upon Tyne which was acquired by Procter & Gamble in 1927.

50th anniversary

In February 2010, Fairy brought back the original washing up liquid bottle (which was used until 2000) to celebrate 50 years of the brand. Nanette Newman, who appeared in the 1980s TV advertisements returned for a new campaign to promote the launch.
