Performer: Ugo Guagliardo

The staging sways between tackiness and naivety, like those old Christmas cards with sequins glued to the edges of the figures.

Exuberant celebration of La Cenerentola's 200th anniversary by Cecila Bartoli and her colleagues at the Concertgebouw.

On the 200th anniversary of La cenerentola's première, Bartoli & co tour Europe and bring Rossini's sparkle to the Dortmund Konzerthaus.

Interesting rediscovery of Veracini's first opera, composed for mythical castrati Senesino and Farinelly, and brought to life again by Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante.

Not the typical Cinderella fairytale: Cecilia Bartoli brings Cenerentola to a present day Whitsuntide by cleaning the tables of a diner.

This cheerful revival production of Il Barbiere di Siviglia showcases the operatic talent that Naples' Teatro di San Carlo can count on.
