Metropolitan Opera - Cinderella Encore
Saturday, February 14th, 1:00pm-4:15pm. $15
The Met’s abridged, English-language version of Massenet’s enchanting fairy-tale opera returns to theaters! Previously recorded live, this performance stars mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as the rags-to-riches title character alongside mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo as the lovestruck Prince Charming, with Emmanuel Villaume on the podium.
World Premiere: Opéra-Comique, Paris, 1899
Charles Perrault’s 1698 fairy tale, the classic telling of the Cinderella story, is an excellent source for an opera—providing color, romance, and relatable themes for audiences of all ages. The work includes many moments in which Massenet is at his best and most widely accessible, from the pageantry and glowing musical nostalgia for the French baroque in the court scenes to the otherworldliness of the love music to the wit and humor that permeate the work as a whole.
