The beloved tale of Cinderella
(
La Cenerentola
) meets operatic
delight in this bubbling Rossini hit!
You know the story: Cinderella is
dressed in rags and destined to
toil away for her nasty stepsisters
and horrible stepfather – who is
scheming to convince the Prince to
marry one of his “real” daughters.
But not so fast, ladies – mean girls
aren’t the Prince’s style, and there’s
a happily-ever-after ending for the
maid with the heart of gold in this
“triumphant, dazzling production…
that blends a riot of color with
sophisticated comedy just oozing
with mirth.”
