La Cenerentola (1997): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1997, La Cenerentola is a musik film directed by Brian Large. “La Cenerentola by Rossini at the Metropolitan Opera (Live from the Met 1997).” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. A timeless tale told in a florid bel canto style, Rossini’s take on the Cinderella story offers an ideal propellant for a virtuosic mezzo-soprano to rocket from rags to riches. But in this retelling, the supporting characters soar just as high: Cinderella’s Prince, her stepfather, and the Prince’s valet are given memorable arias, and the composer rounds out his score with ingenious ensemble flourishes. A vivacious masterpiece, La Cenerentola brings stock fairy tale characters to dazzling life.

Who’s in it. La Cenerentola stars Cecilia Bartoli as Angelina, Ramón Vargas as Prince Ramiro, Alessandro Corbelli as Dandini and Simone Alaimo as Don Magnifico, among others.
