Opéra Bastille

Enchant his era. Such could have been Jules Massenet's will in setting Charles Perrault's story to music. With Cendrillon, the composer delivers one of his most seductive works, which differs from the other lyrical adaptations of the tale. The mischievous Lucette and the women around her dictate the work's tone, the many nuances of which validate the words of Claude Debussy who saw in Massenet “the musical historian of the female soul”. By giving the fairy the unreal stamp of coloratura, by disguising the role of the prince sung by a soprano, the composer offers us a vocal festival carried by a variegated orchestration, oscillating between Mozartian finesse, baroque stylistic quotations and great romantic inflections. For Cinderella's entry into the Paris Opera repertoire,

Jules Massenet's opera enters the repertoire of the Paris Opera. On the occasion of this first performance at the Opéra Bastille, the Orchester de l'Opéra national de Paris conducted by Carlo Rizzi magnifies this opera in four acts. After Hansel and Gretel, almost ten years ago, the director Mariame Clément offers us a rereading of the myth of Cinderella and a reflection around the characters of this fairy tale.
