This rollicking, comedic opera of Cinderella presents the story you know – with a few extra twists.
One of the most popular stories of all time, set to sparkling music, ‘La Cenerentola’ is the perfect introduction to opera for those who have yet to embrace the artform, as well as an evergreen for the opera connoisseur.
One reviewer’s praise of this production commended, ‘Rossini’s blend of great vocal writing, comedy and fast-paced action were always evident, so that the drama and romance were convincingly projected amongst the mayhem and confusion created by characters in disguise.’
Featuring a cast entirely of Victorian opera singers, the show is sung in the original Italian, but the familiar story and effervescent host, ‘Madame Carandini’, mean that even the youngest audience will be able to enjoy the performance.
Opera aficionado Graham Ford declared this show ‘a fun night out, with excellent singing.’
