A magical opera with jaw-dropping singing, considered a crown jewel of bel canto opera, Rossini's glittery version of the fairytale classic lets our heroine drive her own fate—no fairy godmother needed. It's not just beauty that wins the prince's heart (though she does get a stunning gown); instead, love and kindess triumph over greed and vanity. Rossini's signature mix of vocal virtuosity, lyrical beauty, and zany hijinks brings this sweet tale to life.
In this brand-new production, built by local artists in Lyric Opera's scene shop, our Director Michael Shell—with Set Designer Steven C. Kemp and Costume Designer Amanda Seymour—amps up this story's playfulness with a Wes Anderson-inspired production that sparkles.
