Rossini: La Cenerentola (Cinderella)

Joel Adams has kindly invited us to use the luxurious Club Room of the Plaza Residences in the RBC Tower for this event.

Rossini gives his take on the Cinderella fairy tale, minus the fairy godmother, magic coach, and glass slippers but with a mystical twist of his own. The music is typically sparkling and effervescent Rossini.
