Brian Morton explores the strange relationship between jazz, the creative process and mind-altering substances.

It was the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914 which turned opium and its derivatives from being a crutch for middle-class Victorian women into the drug for the jazz hipster.

Rossini's sparkling comic opera is based on the story of Cinderella, but in Rossini's telling of the story the erstwhile ugly sisters are merely silly sisters, and the key to the disappearing beauty's identity is a missing bracelet, not a shoe. In addition, Rossini turns the fairy godmother into a kindly old tutor, Alidoro, and the mean stepmother becomes a seedy stepfather, Don Magnifico. The stepfather is an impoverished aristocrat with two daughters of his own - the spoilt and vain Clorinda and Tisbe - and a stepdaughter, Angelina, who serves as their maid and is nicknamed Cinderella. The household is thrown into chaos when the daughters are invited to a royal ball at which the prince, Don Ramiro, will choose a wife. But Cinderella is not allowed to go.

Chorus and Orchestra of the New York Metropolitan Opera, conductor Bruno Campanella
