LA CENERENTOLA

Cinderella

by Gioachino Rossini

Jarrett sings Dandini

Comic opera in two acts
Libretto by Jacopo Ferretti
in Italian with German subtitles

A fairy tale without wizardry: No magical tree on the mother's grave, no pumpkin carriage and no fitting of the glass slipper. The essence of the Cinderella fairy tale, however, has been preserved in Rossini's sparkling comedy which first premiered in 1817: Namely the firm conviction that beautiful dresses only enhance the already existing inner beauty of a person whilst nasty step sisters will always remain the way they are. And this is why Angelina's goodness of heart can finally triumph over the malice of her own family, over rational calculation and reason of state.
