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.

Tenor Marcelo Álvarez and baritone George Petean both pull double duty in this classic verismo bill, revived effectively in Grischa Asagaroff's staging.

Jessica Pratt shines in this Donizetti coloratura role, with the support of Teresa Iervolino as a luxury Pierotto, and a solid cast of Italian singers.

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.
