La Cenerentola by Gioachino Rossini. Sung in Italian with English supertitles. Rossini's take on the Cinderella story is no simplistic fairy tale. There's no pumpkin coach and no glass slipper, and in place of a fairy godmother there’s a wise old philosopher who wants his handsome Prince to marry not just the fairest of them all but also the best and the kindest. Yet, while reason and realism prevail, there's no shortage of magical enchantment in Rossini's miraculous score, which happily marries high comedy and heartfelt emotion, before climaxing with one of the most dazzling coloratura showpieces in all bel canto opera. The critics adored Sir Peter Hall's 2005 Festival staging: 'This is a performance that meets the Glyndebourne gold standard … understated, sensitive and thus deeply pleasurable' (The Daily Telegraph); 'sheer entertainment kissed by genius' (The Mail on Sunday). For this revival, we welcome back the stylish Spanish maestro Enrique Mazzola, conductor of L'elisir d’amore on the 2007 Tour.
