Cinderella Reimagined

The magic of time-honoured fairytale Cinderella collides with the high artform of opera in Rossini's great mid-18th century dramma giocoso La Cenerentola, re-set by renowned director Julia Burbach to take place in modern-day London! Brought lovingly to the stage by the English National Opera, the comedy and drama-infused spectacular stars Deepa Johnny in the titular role of Angelina - a.k.a. Cinderella - and Aaron Godfrey-Mayes as her charming prince Ramiro.

What Is The Story?

Filled with humour and good natured fun, this Cinderella story is very much Rossini's take on the beloved story. The kind natured Angelina/Cinderella must still contend with two ridiculous step-sisters, but here has to wait hand and foot on her wicked step-father Don Magnifico to boot! Not content to stay stuck as a damsel in distress, she takes matters into her own hands to fend off her mean family members and pursue the prince on her own terms. Brava!
