BBC Radio 3 - Opera on 3, Massenet's Cendrillon from the New York Metropolitan Opera

Massenet's Cendrillon from the Met starring Joyce DiDonato and Alice Coote.

The New York Metropolitan Opera presents Massenet's take on the Cinderella story, with Joyce DiDonato as Cinderella, and Alice Coote as her Prince Charming.

Another chance to hear the New York Metropolitan Opera 2018 broadcast of Massenet's take on the Cinderella story. First performed at the Opera Comique in Paris in 1899, Massenet wrote his Wagner-influenced opera at the height of his fame, and it was an immediate success. In this production, as when it was first staged at the Royal Opera House, Joyce DiDonato sings Cendrillon, with Alice Coote as her Prince Charming.
