Audiences will not know until the curtain goes up whether the main character will be a man or a woman.
The female will wear the ballgown, regardless of whether she is playing Cinders or the princess that falls in love with the male Cinders.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.
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. Principal dancer Bruno Michiardi said swapping the roles of the Cinderella leads made the ballet fee "different and new".
Guest principal dancer Jessica Fyfe added that she had found working on the production "very exhilarating".
