Music by Gioachino Rossini

Our offering for evening community performances is a perfect show for children and the whole family! From the composer of The Barber of Seville, Gioachino Rossini's other famous opera, Cinderella, is a vocal and comedic romp! A wise magician takes the place of the fairy godmother and an evil stepfather rants and faves instead of the wicked stepmother. But the nasty stepsisters, Prince Charming and a glass slipper prove, beyond all question, that this is the fairy tale we all know and love. And when it's combined with hilarious characters and set to some of Rossini's finest music, it becomes comic opera at its most exhilarating best!
