Male Cinderella for new Scottish Ballet production
Scottish Ballet is retelling The Story of The Classic fairytale Cinderella - with A Man in The Lead Role .
Audiences attending the production of Cinders will not know until the curtain goes up whether the main Character will be A Man or A Woman .
One version will be Traditional - with a female Cinderella being swept off her feet by her Prince Charming.
But in The Other , a male Cinders will be rescued from A Life of drudgery by his princess.

The Ballet company claims The Break in tradition is a world first.
The Ballet , set in a draper's store at The Turn of the 20Th Century , will feature an art-nouveau inspired set with the Traditional score by Sergei Prokofiev .
While there will not be an LGBTQ+ coupling for Cinders, Scottish Ballet said there would be a gay Love Story blossoming in the background for some of The Other characters.
Scottish Ballet 's artistic director and chief executive, Christopher Hampson , said: " I'm delighted to be bringing this fresh approach to such a well-known fairytale. I have always believed Prokofiev essentially composed a Love Story , yet full of wit and humour, which underpins this new production.
" I'm enjoying the playfulness of searching for who guides The Narrative and who drives the dream. Collaborating with Elin Steele [designer] and the ever-adventurous dancers; We Are coming together to deliver a classic Cinders For Today . "
Principal Dancer Bruno Michiardi said swapping the roles of the Cinderella leads made the Ballet fee " different and new".
He Said : " We all know and love The Classic story of Cinderella , but this new version means we're suddenly working in this amazing upside-down realm, where the male part - previously a more traditionally stoic Character - is a complex mixture of vulnerability and resilience, and The Female Role - usually quite timid and downtrodden for most of the original Ballet - is empowered and full of charisma.
" I'm excited at the prospect of exploring this further and sharing that with The Audience . "
Role ="text">'New twist'Guest Principal Dancer Jessica Fyfe added that she had found working on the production " very exhilarating".
" To give this new fluidity to the leading roles means exploring ways in which the Character Cinders, traditionally the 'poor' Cinderella , can be a person of grit, determination and strength, which ultimately leads to them creating their own Happy Ending .
" I hope The Audience enjoys this new twist on a beautiful classic, which now highlights how anyone can have a hand at shaping their own future. It's not just for fairytales. "
Scottish Ballet , which was founded in 1969, will begin its tour of Cinders at Glasgow's Theatre Royal on 9 December, before heading to Edinburgh's Festival Theatre , Her Majesty 's Theatre, Aberdeen, Eden Court Theatre , Inverness, and ending at Newcastle's Theatre Royal on 10 February.
