Sadly Rossini’s Cenerentola has no mice for best friends, no magic pumpkin-carriage and no fairy godmother. But she is the same humble, selfless and loving heroin as in the fairytale, and Rossini makes up for magic in the plot with magic in his score.
I love Cenerentola as a woman, and I love the way she expresses herself vocally. I also had some of my very best friends on the stage (and in the wing) with me for this show. I will miss telling this story a very great deal.
