La Cenerentola
Royal Opera House, London
Mon, 17th December 2007 - Wed, 9th January 2008
From £35.00*December 17, 2007 to January 9, 2008 Running time: 3 hours Sung in Italian with English surtitle Background This Christmas The Royal Opera presents a different festive take on the familiar ‘Cinderella’ story with Rossini’s La Cenerentola in its ever-popular and elegant production – 1950s chic, and even a limousine for that special journey to the all-important ball. Angelina beats her unpleasant sisters Clorinda and Tisbe to the heart of the handsome prince Don Ramiro, despite his disguise. Rossini’s music is at its most diverting, with lyrical tunes, characterful ensembles and, of course, impressive coloratura flourishes. The Royal Opera has assembled a wonderful cast of lyric singers to bring out all the charm of the music, and Magdalena’s Kozena’s debut with The Royal Opera in the fabulous title role certainly adds an extra note or two of glamour - if it were needed!
