The Metropolitan Opera: Cinderella

In this New Year's Day performance, Laurent Pelly's storybook staging of Massenet's Cendrillon, a hit of the 2017-2018 season, is presented with an all new English translation in an abridged 90-minute adaptation, with mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as its rags-to-riches princess. Maestro Emmanuel Villaume leads a delightful cast, wich includes mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo as Cinderella's Prince Charming, soprano Jessica Pratt as her Fairy Godmother, and mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe and bass-baritone Laurent Nauori as her feuding guardians. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met's award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
