Radio Lady Previews: Rossini's Opera "Cinderella" on stage in Portland (Ore.) November 2 - 10, 2007

[Radio_Lady]

The role of Cinderella will be sung by Angela Niederloh (pictured above)

She’s sweet. She’s tender. She’s gracious beyond belief.

Cinderella will steal your heart. And you won’t mind one bit.

Love knows no class boundaries in this delightful romp. Forced into servitude by her jealous step-sisters, Cinderella falls in love with . . . well, you know the story. In the end, she finds it totally bewildering. There she is. At the Royal Ball. And on her Prince’s arm! But does she banish her cruel family? Ah, she’s far too nice for that, and besides, it’s a fairy tale and everyone gets to live happily ever after.

Music to make you smile! Dazzling vocal fireworks. Voices soaring into astonishing ensembles. All at a spirited, sparkling pace that adds a quicksilver magic to this favorite tale.

Composed by Gioachino Rossini and sung in Italian with projected English translations.

1. So how was the opera?

I saw Angela Niederloh at the Portland Met auditions a few years ago and was blown away by her coloratura mezzo technique.

2. UPDATE: Did you get my PM on this one?

I never got to the performance due to change of schedule.

But we are going to Rondelinda on Friday, February 8th.

Thanks for your post :-)
