The stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall has been transformed into an enchanted forest, populated by gnomes, woodland creatures – and over 90 ballet dancers. After a forced four-year break due to the COVID pandemic, the ballerinas of the English National Ballet are back for a spectacular run of “Cinderella,” one of the company's biggest shows. Ticket sales for this year's “Cinderella” are up 20% on 2019, according to a spokesperson. Dancing there is a magical experience for Adams, given the venue’s 152-year history of hosting momentous cultural events, she said. “It just feels really special to be on the other side of it and to finally be living this out,” Adams said.
