by Gioachino Rossini

True love sees through every disguise.

Think you know Cinderella? Think again. Rossini’s sparkling comic opera trades glass slippers and fairy godmothers for quick wit, dazzling music, and a softhearted heroine named Angelina. Her empathy catches the attention of the prince’s tutor, who is searching for the right bride for his royal charge. Through clever disguises, unexpected turns, and a bracelet that guides Prince Ramiro to true love, this classic fairytale takes on new life.

Colorful, fast-moving, and charming for audiences of all ages, Cinderella offers a magical night at the opera — proof that a little kindness goes even further than midnight spells or enchanted pumpkins.
