Benjamin Britten / The Golden Vanity

Cité de la Musique

Two wicked stepsisters, but no stepmother. No pumpkin, no slipper… but a strange philosopher as a fairy godmother. This is Cinderella revisited: a musical fairy tale in chiaroscuro, where Perrault meets Marivaux.

With La Cenerentola , Rossini strikes the perfect balance between laughter and emotion. The young lovers and their guardian angel possess the nobility of the serio style, while the stepfamily bursts forth with comic absurdity . All cross paths amidst a series of misunderstandings with electrifying effects. Returning to the Dijon Opera after The Pearl Fishers (2025), director Mirabelle Ordinaire explores this interplay between reality and appearances, drawing parallels between Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland, and Lewis Carroll's sequel, Through the Looking-Glass , published in 1871. Acclaimed as Poppea and during her recital of Moving Songs , Dijon-born mezzo-soprano Marine Chagnon embodies the sensitive Angelina. Another rising star, the young Italian-Turkish conductor Nil Venditti, leads the Dijon Bourgogne Orchestra and the Dijon Opera Chorus.
