“I don’t believe in the right to work; I consider it a person’s greatest right to do nothing,” said Rossini. Angelina, his Cinderella, is far from that – she performs slave labor in the household of her bankrupt stepfather. How a prince, for whom a bank account and an army of servants work, rescues her from this precarious situation is a fairy tale known worldwide, from Charles Perrault to Walt Disney. Rossini tells the story of the resilience of sincere feelings without the familiar elements of magic. But there is one great miracle after all: love at first sight. Not at the ball, but when the prince, disguised as a servant, inspects the potential brides in advance. Surrounding this is the madness of dreams of social advancement and scenarios of decline, which drives Rossini’s characters forward just as much as the frenzied energy of his music.

In Italian with German subtitles

There will be an introduction 45 minutes before the performance at the Upper Foyer (I. Rang).
