Details About The Show Creatives & Cast Ticket Information

Famed composer Gioachino Rossini elevates the story of Cinderella to a heart-warming tale of love and forgiveness in this classic and enchanting opera.

Angelina, known as Cenerentola, lives a generous life despite the cruelty of her stepsisters and stepfather. Meanwhile, Prince Ramiro searches for a wife and in the process manages to uncover everyone’s true nature as hijinks and romance ensue.

Following its debut in Launceston for Season 2022, Artistic Director Richard Mills and director Elizabeth Hill-Cooper will again join forces to bring Rossini’s joy-filled parable to Melbourne.

Melbourne Recital Centre

Intimate and acoustically superb, Elisabeth Murdoch Hall features exquisite architectural design and world class technical facilities. Drawing influence from the traditional box shape of European concert halls, it is lined with plywood panels of Australian plantation Hoop Pine timber, designed to resemble the back of an instrument and provide greater acoustic intimacy across the auditorium.
