The Step-mother stops her own children, whom she loves, and vents her anger, instead, on Cinderella, whom she hates. Cinderella stays alone, and the Fairy appears as the memory of her mother. She entertains Cinderella, calling Ladybugs and Flower Fairies to dance for her. The Step-mother returns and is angry at Cinderella’s good humour. The Step-sisters and their friends return with shopping bags and show each other their new things for the Court Ball. A Dance Teacher arrives to prepare them for the Ball. He is not happy with them until Cinderella joins the class. Everyone leaves for the Ball and Cinderella stays alone, trying on a dress left behind and dreaming of the Prince. The Fairy appears with the Crystal Shoes for Cinderella. The Flower Fairies present her with a dress; the Mice give her a crown. Deer are ready to take her to the Ball. The Fairy tells Cinderella that Elves will notify her just before midnight, as her dress will turn into an old robe at 12 o’clock. Cinderella leaves for the Ball.
