Massenet: Cinderella – starring Isabel Leonard & Emily D'Angelo

An abridged, English-language version of Massenet’s enchanting fairy-tale opera, this performance stars beloved mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as the rags-to-riches title princess, with Emmanuel Villaume on the podium to lead a witty and whimsical production by Laurent Pelly. The spellbinding cast also features mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo as the love-struck Prince Charming, soprano Jessica Pratt as the spunky Fairy Godmother, mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the wicked Madame de la Haltière, and bass-baritone Laurent Naouri as Cinderella’s compassionate but meek father, Pandolfe.
