Cinderella

We are excited to give teachers and students a glimpse into the story, music and images of Lyric's 2023 production of Cinderella. The presentation below serves to prepare classes for the performance experience. It can be used as a quick reference or a longer study guide with prompts for deeper consideration both before and after coming to the theater.

This slide deck contains:

• A list of characters
• A summary of the story
• Literary and artistic themes
• Listening examples
• About the writers
• Discussion prompts
