Cinderella with a twist! The classic opera La Cenerentola tells a story of empowerment and virtue against the backdrop of the classic Cinderella narrative.

In this version, we follow the kind-hearted Cenerentola who lives as a maid under the harsh rule of her cruel stepsisters, Clorinda and Tisbe, and scheming stepfather Don Magnifico. Fate intervenes when she encounters Prince Ramiro, disguised as a servant. Captivated by her innate goodness, the Prince’s heart is won over by her gentle spirit.

Through clever disguises and hilarious scenes, the characters go on a journey that highlights the triumph of kindness and forgiveness over adversity. La Cenerentola is a magical experience, perfect for the whole family, blending romance and comedy in a spellbinding performance.

With its elaborate sets, exquisite costumes, and the full accompaniment of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, this production promises to enchant audiences of all ages, leaving them with a heartwarming message and a touch of magic.
