Exeter Opera Group is presenting Rossini's opera buffa La Cenerentola: The Cinderella Story Reimagined!
Experience a charming, effervescent twist on the world's most beloved fairy tale. Gioachino Rossini's La Cenerentola (Cinderella, or Goodness Triumphant) comes to the stage, blending dazzling comedy, vocal fireworks, and genuine heart.
In this version, there are no fairy godmothers or glass slippers. Instead, a philosopher, a case of mistaken identity (the Prince Don Ramiro and his valet swap roles!), and a simple bracelet help a kind-hearted heroine named Angelina find her true destiny. This is a Cinderella for all ages, focusing on inner beauty, kindness, and the triumph of a good heart over vanity.
Join us for an evening of mischievous fun, unforgettable music, and pure, unadulterated joy. With its famous "coloratura fireworks," complex ensembles (like the knotty "Questo un nodo avviluppato"), and the triumphant final aria "Non pi mesta," La Cenerentola is a treat for any opera lover. Our accessible production appeals to children and adults alike. Full of comic hijinks, charming characters, and gorgeous melodies, this is the perfect introduction to the world of opera. The production is in the original language, in Italian, with piano accompaniment.
We are delighted to announce that our production of La Cenerentola will feature an amazing CAST, promising an unforgettable evening of music:
