PSU Opera presents: Cendrillon

Cendrillon
By Linda Brosky

A sparkling retelling of the beloved Cinderella fairy tale, Jules Massenet's Cendrillon weaves together romance, comedy and enchantment in one of opera's most charming masterpieces. Trapped in a household ruled by her vain stepmother and stepsisters, the kind-hearted Cendrillon dreams of a brighter future until a magical fairy transforms her destiny. A chance encounter with a melancholy prince leads to an unforgettable night of wonder, but when the clock strikes midnight, the magic fades and only love can guide them back to one another. Sung in French with English supertitles, Cendrillon enchants audiences with lush melodies, whimsical characters and a timeless story of hope, compassion and the transformative power of love.
