Description
Cinderella, the fairy‑tale of fairy tales, is presented by the Sibelius Academy Opera to illuminate the dim November in the Music House's Sonore Hall. Jules Massenet’s music carries us into a magical fairy‑tale world suitable for both children and adults. Lucette is a Cinderella who retreats into her world of dreams, destined to stay home alone even when the King himself throws a party. However, a fairy godmother enters the scene and encourages Cinderella to follow her own will. Massenet’s opera is based on Charles Perrault’s classic Cinderella story. Cinderella is a story of acceptance, otherness and the courage to be oneself. The performance offers a charming and beautiful opera experience seasoned with humor. The work is sung in French, but a Finnish narrator and subtitles help younger audiences follow the story. The performance is suitable for all ages from 10 upwards.
