When an obscure Russian company comes to town for a one-off performance of a classical ballet, you never know what to expect. The latest example was the State Ballet Theater of Russia, the touring name of the Voronezh State Theater of Opera and Ballet, a group formed in 1961. Its presentation of Vladimir Vasiliev's "Cinderella" at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center departed liberally from the program's synopsis, based on Nikolai Volkov's 1940s libretto.
