Cinderella winter exhibition opens at Moritzburg Castle
Fans of the cult film "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" have something to look forward to: the traditional winter exhibition "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" opens at Moritzburg Castle near Dresden on Wednesday, according to Schlösserland Sachsen. Original costumes, recreated film scenes and props will be on display until February 25.
These include the gala carriage in which the king and queen rode through the Moritzburg winter landscape 50 years ago and the original saddle on which Cinderella rides to the prince. The 12th edition of the show also features a special exhibition on the leading actress Libuše Šafránková (1953-2021) and her cinematic work.
The baroque palace of Saxon Elector Augustus the Strong was a filming location for the German-Czech co-production from 1972/1973, which has long been part of the Christmas television program. The film premiered 50 years ago on November 1.
Visitors to the "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" exhibition at Moritzburg Castle might also enjoy a movie night, as the classic film adaptation is a popular holiday tradition. The 1972/1973 German-Czech production will undoubtedly bring back fond memories for many, as it's been a staple of Christmas television programming for decades.
