A classic Rossini comedy with a heart, Cinderella is an irrepressible take on the traditional fairy tale we all know and love. Rossini conjures up a handsome prince, a beastly stepfather, bickering stepsisters, a beautiful heroine – and sheer magic in the music. True love, goodness, and forgiveness win out with an unabashedly happy ending – even for the wicked stepsisters!

Cinderella brims with Rossini's most brilliant coloratura writing and exuberant ensemble pieces. With its effervescent music and irresistible tunes, this zany romp is as much fun as opera can possibly be.

Revel in absolute enchantment as you fall under the spell of this sparkling masterpiece!

First Performance January 25, 1817, Teatro Valle, Rome.
