Description |
"An effervescent celebration of Rossini's comic brilliance! This Cinderella has a bureaucrat, Alidoro, instead of a fairy godmother, and the two sisters, both sweet-voiced and bitchy, are far from ugly. Prince Ramiro briefly swaps identities with his valet, Dandini, to woo his true love, Cinders. Amid the impressive talent, Dandini, with his rich, wide-ranging baritone and exuberant characterisation, becomes the star of the show..." |
