Set to a score by Sergei Prokofiev, this classic 1961 performance captures the drama and romance of a timeless fairy tale that both children and adults will enjoy. Raisa Struchkova dances the title role, with a young Yokaterina Maximova delivering an early performance in a supporting part. Other performers include Lesma Chadarain and Natalya Rizhenko dancing as Haughty and Spiteful, the heroine's wicked stepsisters.
