About

La Cenerentola (Cinderella) is a comic opera by Gioachino Rossini, premiered in Rome in 1817. Jacopo Ferretti's libretto draws on the Cinderella fairy tale, but Rossini stripped out the magic and focused on character and wit instead. The demanding title role for mezzo-soprano is one of the great challenges of the bel canto repertoire.
