This 2010 production of La Cenerentola, recorded at the Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari, is set in modern times. On the rather empty, bare stage there are a few elements which stand out: the colourful costumes, the two giant chandeliers and the 1970’s kitchen. Quoting the director’s own words, “the emptiness of the stage leaves room for creativity as the characters keep on changing and disguising their true identity. I have stuck to Rossini’s original notes while neglecting all the legends linked to the character of Cinderella”.
This modern production directed by Claudio Abbado’s son Daniele Abbado, features the acclaimed Maxim Mironov, considered by critics as one of the most interesting Rossini tenors of his generation. Cenerentola (Cinderella) is performed by José Maria Lo Monaco, also a renowned Rossini specialist.
