 Madame de la Haltière and her daughters return, complaining about the mysterious beauty who attended the ball. Alone with his daughter, Pandolfe suggests to Cendrillon that they return to the country; however, once alone, the girl escapes into the forest.

A herald announces that the prince, hoping to find his beloved, is having women from all over the kingdom try on the glass slipper left behind by the unknown beauty.
