The visit of the British star to Ukraine is not accidental: Kateryna Khaniukova, the current soloist of the English National Ballet dedicated 5 years of her career to the National Opera of Ukraine and is now renewing the connection with the native theater with signing a guest contract for the ‘Cinderella’ play. Gentle, loved since childhood fairy tale ‘Cinderella’, performed by fragile and technical Khaniukova, promises to give the audience a truly magical and exquisite evening. Talented ballerina will find strong support on the stage in the face of Valentino Zucchetti, lead dancer of the Royal UK Ballet. Italian dancer, the graduate of the Ballet School of the La Scala theater and the London The Royal Ballet Upper School, known for its easy and springy leap, will visit Ukraine for the first time and will give viewers a unique opportunity to watch the performance on the level of major European ballet schools.
