Askungen by Rossini, Från (2002/2002), Regisserad av Stina Ancker, Dirigent Niklas Willén, Wermland Opera, Karlstad, Sverige

With a truly top ensemble, we offer a guaranteed kick in the spring of 2002! A comic opera in two fast-paced acts by the wittiest composer of all time – Rossini. He is best known for "The Barber of Seville" but many believe that "Cinderella" even surpasses this opera. With a completely newly written translation, everyone will have a successful evening with lots of laughs. Premiere Karlstads Teater 28 February 2002 24 performances up to and including 11 May 2002. In the cast, we line up some favorites among our guest singers such as AnnLouice Lögdlund, Bengt Krantz and Michael Weinius. The Värmland-born mezzo-soprano Kristina Hammarström is one of Sweden's great singer exports and has just had "Cinderella" a great success in Germany. She alternates with third-year student Erika Andersson of the Stockholm Academy of Opera.
