La Cenerentola



The popularity of Rossini's delightful fairy-tale opera is, to a great
extent, due to Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's now legendary production, first seen
at La Scala of Milan in 1971. Claudio Abbado, who was then the artistic
director of La Scala, has put together for this production a cast -
including Frederica von Stade, Francisco Araiza and Paolo Montarsolo - that
boasts an outstanding affinity for Rossini's humor in addition to peerless
musicality.
