Glyndebourne Greats: La Cenerentola by Rossini

The last in a short season of great performances, recorded in the last couple of decades, at the Glyndebourne Opera Festival: the tale of Cinderella or Goodness Triumphant as seen, in this mix of comedy and drama, by Gioachino Rossini, inspired by Perrault's fairy tale Cendrillon. The mezzo-soprano Ruxandra Donose takes on Cinderella, one of the finest roles written by Rossini, as the young girl forced to serve as maid in her own home by her stepfather, the evil Don Magnifico, sung by the baritone Alessandro Corbelli. Not all is lost as redemption comes by way of love, thanks to Don Ramiro, Prince of Salerno, sung by the tenor Maxim Mironov - and the intervention of a fair amount of luck too! Vladimir Jurowski conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

Presented by Martin Handley.
