Metropolitan Ballet Company presents “Cinderella” in our annual Family Concert Series performances
November 22-23 in Jenkintown, PA
Jenkintown, PA – Metropolitan Ballet Company will open its 2025-2026 season on Saturday and Sunday, November 22-23, 2025, with an enchanting production of the classic children’s storybook ballet, Cinderella. In this family-oriented program, Cinderella is a sparkling faerie-tale ballet complete with glass slippers, fairy godmother, pumpkin coaches, wicked stepsisters, and ballroom entertainment. This magical story ballet, brought to life with exuberant dancing, will delight children of all ages.
Cinderella will be presented in MBC’s Family Concert Series performances on Saturday, November 22 at 2:00pm and 5:00pm, and Sunday, November 23 at 2:00pm at Abington Friends School’s Josephine Muller Auditorium, 575 Washington Lane, Jenkintown, PA 19046.
Tickets are $20 for children and $25 for adults
In addition to the full-length story ballet, the program will also feature two original works. A striking new pas de deux, choreographed by Tyler Schnese, will showcase the artistry and athleticism of Metropolitan Ballet’s company dancers. Audiences will also be treated to an exquisite pointe work choreographed by Lisa Collins Vidnovic, set to the evocative music of Antonín Dvořák, offering a luminous complement to the program.
Metropolitan Ballet’s Family Concert Series is envisioned as a signature cultural gathering for the community: an experience that children, parents, and grandparents can enjoy together. These fully produced story ballets provide families and schools with an inspiring avenue to introduce young audiences to the art of dance, combining enchantment with artistic excellence. The series embodies Metropolitan Ballet’s mission to present world-class dance locally and to cultivate in people of all ages a lasting appreciation for the performing arts. We extend our profound gratitude to the many generous donors whose support makes these productions possible, and we warmly invite the community to share in their beauty.
