Cecilia Bartoli leads a stellar cast in a silly, but fun divertissement where Mozart’s music shines supreme.

The Opernhaus Zürich presents yet another Cenerentola with Cecilia Bartoli in the title role, surrounded by a great cast, with the support of the period orchestra La Scintilla, under Gianluca Capuano's knowledgeable baton.

Alex Esposito and Alessandro Corbelli lead a young cast in an early opera buffa by Donizetti, in a new production, with mixed results, by Francesco Micheli.

Despite some forgivable excesses, Nicola Alaimo and Cecilia Bartoli led a dream cast for a fun, engaging performance of Rossini's classic.

Jun Aguni’s fast-paced new staging, with brightly coloured sets and costumes by Rome-based Alessandro Ciammarughi, was full of visual delights and fantasy-filled images.

Nothing on New Year’s Eve could have been more festive than the spirited production of Rossini’s La Cenerentola that Zurich Opera staged with Cecelia Bartoli in the lead role.
