Aschenputtel by Rossini, Ab (2023/2023), Unter der Regie von Dona D Vaughn, Dirigat Israel Gursky, Merrill Auditorium, Portland, Vereinigte Staaten

Opera Maine is thrilled to present an original production of Gioachino Rossini’s comedic masterpiece, La Cenerentola (Cinderella). Rossini’s delightful version of the beloved dustbin-to-palace tale of Cinderella is certain to enchant audiences of all ages. A heartless stepfather, scheming stepsisters, and a prince in disguise create hilarity and confusion, but goodness and love triumph in the end. Much magic is in Rossini’s exuberant music, performed by a talented cast of principals and the Opera Maine Orchestra and Chorus, all under the baton of Maestro Israel Gursky. Artistic Director Dona D. Vaughn will direct this not-to-be-missed production. Opera in two acts, sung in Italian with English translation projected above the stage. One intermission.
