Event Details

With its combination of enchanting love story and broad, burlesque comedy, Cendrillon is one of the great operatic fairy tales, a Cinderella that looks back to Charles Perrault's original story in all its richness and ambiguity. Massenet's sensuous Belle Epoque fairy tale is gilded with lavish orchestral textures and glittering vocal writing, drawing on everything from Baroque dances to Wagner-inspired coloration, conjuring a world of musical and emotional variety.
