La Cenerentola

La Cenerentola

The popularity of Rossini's delightful fairy-tale opera is, to a great extent, due to Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's now legendary production, first seen at La Scala of Milan in 1971. Claudio Abbado, who was then the artistic director of La Scala, has put together for this production a cast - including Frederica von Stade, Francisco Araiza and Paolo Montarsolo - that boasts an outstanding affinity for Rossini's humor in addition to peerless musicality.
