The tale of Cinderella has charmed and captivated audiences since its publication. While we speak today of a “Cinderella team” in the world of sports or a “Cinderella story” when we discover a talent emerging from an unlikely background, it is first and foremost the improbable love between two people with nothing in common that inspires our dreams! Arion invites you to discover this fairy tale as it was first set to music in 1810. Featuring a stellar Franco-Quebecois cast, this opera offers touching and virtuosic moments, trading fantasy for a comic dimension whose irony is more relevant than ever.
Nicolò Isouard (1773 –1818)
