Description

Thanks to her open heart and determination, Cinderella triumphs over her mean-spirited relatives in Rossini’s sparkling version of the story. Karine Deshayes, lauded for her “emotional depth and vibrant, beautiful sound” (The New York Times), makes her San Francisco Opera debut in the beloved fairy tale about a gentle but courageous servant girl who catches the eye of a handsome prince. In San Francisco Opera’s charming and heartwarming production, esteemed Spanish conductor Jesús López-Cobos leads a superb cast. The elegant and exciting René Barbera debuts as the prince and Fabio Capitanucci brings his “robust, warm voice and impressive Italianate lyricism” (The New York Times) to the role of the prince’s valet Dandini; Spanish baritone Carlos Chausson is Cinderella's evil stepfather.
