WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE ANTENNA GROUP
An opera in four acts, libretto by Henri Cain, based on the fairytale of Cinderella, in Perrault's version (1698)
[The screening, along with the intermission, lasts approximately 3 hours]
Massenet’s enchanting opera, Cendrillon, is based on the classic fairytale and will premier at the Met led by Bertrand de Billy. It is directed by Laurent Pelly, whose Met credits include staging Donizetti’s La Fille du Régiment and Massenet’s Manon. Joyce DiDonato adds another role to her Met repertory as the title character, a role she has sung to acclaim at the Grand Teatre del Liceu, Santa Fe Opera, and Royal Opera, Covent Garden. The cast also stars Alice Coote as Prince Charmant, Stephanie Blythe as the evil stepmother Madame de la Haltière, Kathleen Kim as the Fée, and Laurent Naouri as Pandolfe. Cendrillon is produced in association with the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London; Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona; Théâtre Royal de La Monnaie, Brussels, and Opéra de Lille. This production was first performed at The Santa Fe Opera.
