Singer

La Cenerentola is a dramma giocoso by Gioacchino Rossini, loosely based on Charles Perreault's Cinderella . Librettist Jacopo Ferreti replaces magic with ingenuity and humor while retaining the universal theme of the triumph of goodness over arrogance. In this joyful drama, rife with misunderstandings and disguises, a ridiculous stepfather is substituted for the wicked stepmother and bracelets for glass slippers. To interpret the delightful characters in this sparkling work, the Opéra de Québec relies on the talent and flamboyance of great performers like Jean-Luc Ballestra and Christophe Gay.

Cinderella (the Cenerentola)

Grand Théâtre de Québec

Like a dog in a bowling game, or rather like a Puy-de-Dôme official on a boat. While going to inspect a warship, a high commissioner, accompanied by his daughter, does not suspect that the rolling caused by his presence will upset hearts: his daughter is pining for two sailors and her father is infatuated with an actress.
