The Tattered Slippers

A ballet based on the Grimm fairy tale “Twelve Dancing Princesses.” The storyline follows the original tale for the most part, though it calls merely for the expulsion of the failed princes rather than for their beheadings. Please write for further information regarding personnel, instrumentation, and score availability.
