Dates
Gioachino Rossini’s opera La Cenerentola, a retelling of the timeless story of Cinderella, will be staged at the Kornmarkt Theatre as Bregenz Opera Studio production. The premiere is on 12 August 2025.
La Cenerentola, premiered in Rome in 1817, is regarded as a masterpiece of opera buffa and as a fascinating adaptation of the Cinderella folk tale. In Rossini’s piece, it becomes a very human story full of comical entanglements and unexpected twists in the plot. Angelina, who is called Cenerentola, finds happiness not through fairy tale magic, but as a result of her good heartedness and abiding modesty.
The opera will be directed by Amy Lane, once Keith Warner’s assistant stage director in the Bregenz lake stage production of Umberto Giordano’s Andrea Chenier and today known for her creative stagings. The musical director will be the up-and-coming Finnish conductor Kaapo Ijas. The stage and costumes will be designed by Anna Reid, who like Amy Lane is from the UK.
