"The enchanting Cecilia Bartoli was the first singer to perform Rossini's comedy at the Met, and people clamored for tickets to the long-sold out performances. This retelling of the classic Cinderella story has some delightful twists--like Dandini (the very funny Alessandro Corbelli), the valet to the prince who's disguised as the prince and who also falls in love with Cenerentola. But of course, she's destined for Prince Ramiro (Ramón Vargas). James Levine brings out all the color and humor of Rossini's marvelous score."
"Concertopname gemaakt in 1982 tijdens de Salzburger Festspiele."
"This production of Rossini's version of the Cinderella story is highlighted by scenery adapted from old-fashioned storybooks in tones of sepia and gold. Ferretti's libretto maintains the tone of the Perraut story. The lost glass slipper becomes a bracelet given by Cinderella to the prince."
"In this variation of the traditional Cinderella story, the wicked stepmother is replaced by a wicked stepfather, Don Magnifico. The Fairy Godmother is replaced by Alidoro, a philosopher and the Prince's tutor. Cinderella is identified not by her glass slipper but by her bracelet."
"In this version of Cinderella, the fairy godmother is replaced by Alidoro, the prince's tutor, who provides her with a coach and beautiful clothes so that she may attend the royal ball."
"An adaptation of the Cinderella story. The story is the familiar fairy tale but with the fairy element left out. In place of the fairy godmother, we have Alidoro, a philosophic person and friend of the Prince. The glass slipper is replaced with a pair of bracelets. One of these bracelets is given to the Prince at the ball and recognition of the other leads to the customary happy ending."@en

""Act I: Angiolina (also known as Cenerentola) talks of a tale of a King who choses a bride based upon her goodness and simpleness. Clorinda and Tisbe (her stepsisters) make fun of Cenerentola. Alidoro, prince Ramiro's tutor and philosopher, comes to the door. He is disguised as a beggar. Cenerentola gives him breakfast. This angers the sisters, who are abusive to Alidoro. News is that Prince Ramiro is to choose a bride at a ball. He will pick the most beautiful woman to be his wife. The sisters order Cenerentola to prepare their gowns. Clorinda and Tisbe awaken their father, Don Magnifico, to tell him the good news. Don Magnifico has had a dream. He interprets his dream that his daughters will become queens. Prince Ramiro, in disguise as his valet, arrives. He sees Cenerentola, and they instantly fall in love. Ramiro's servant, Dandini, then arrives and is introduced as the Prince. The sisters court Dandini, thinking he to be the prince. Cenerentola pleads with her stepfather to let her go to the ball, but he insists that she remain at home. Alidoro invites Cenerentola to the ball and helps her find a gown and jewels to wear. Clorinda and Tisbe fight over Dandini at the ball. Dandini tells Ramiro that the two girls are too vain. Alidoro brings Cenerentola to the ball, and everyone is take by this "mysterious woman's" beauty. The sisters and Don Magnifico notice her resemblance to their Cenerentola. Act II: Prince Dandini declares his love for Cenerentola, but she rejects him and says that she is in love with the prince's valet. Ramiro, who is taken aback by Cenerentola's rejection of "prince Dandini," instantly takes off his disguise and declares his love for her. She gives Ramiro a bracelet (one of a pair that she is wearing) and tells him that he must figure out who she is in order to marry her. Don Magnifico begs Dandini to take one of his daughters, but Dandini admits that he is only the prince's valet. Later, the sisters return home to find Cenerentola sweeping. The stepsisters mock her for looking similar to the the lady that the prince picked. Alidoro arranges for the prince's carriage to break down in front of the house. Ramiro recognizes Cenerentola by the bracelet on her arm. Ramiro declares his love for her. The stepsisters and Don Magnifico begin to insult Cenerentola. Alidoro tells them that they should seek the mercy of Cenerentola. Don Magnifico and sisters ask for forgiveness, and Cenerentola publicly forgives them all, as their lives and fortunes have all changed for the better." http://italian-opera.suite101.com/article.cfm/la_cenerentola_rossini_opera."
"If ever a composer was born to set the enchanting fairy tale of Cinderella to sparkling music it was Rossini. His much put upon heroine Angelina (Elīna Garanča) has to cope not only with nasty stepsisters, but also an over-the-top, farcical father, Don Magnifico (Alessandro Corbelli). And in this version the Prince (Lawrence Brownlee) and his valet (Simone Alberghini) swap identities, which causes no end of delightful confusion. With Cesare Lievi's delightful storybook production and Maurizio Benini's expert conducting, it's all as light and delicious as a marvelous musical soufflé."
