Enter here to win a pair of tickets to Vancouver Opera's LA CENERENTOLA (CINDERELLA) on May 1, 2019, 7:30pm at the Vancouver Playhouse.

LA CENERENTOLA (CINDERELLA) is part of the Vancouver Opera Festival, April 27^th – May 5^th 2019, with post-festival performances running until May 12^th. The festival engages, inspires, and entertains over nine days through voice, music and theatre and the visual arts.

In Rossini’s masterpiece La Cenerentola (Cinderella), the evil stepmother trades places with a malevolent stepfather, the fairy godmother is a philosopher, and the legendary glass slipper is replaced with a bracelet. Nonetheless, the essence of the fairy-tale remains: a magical journey from rags to riches. The opera will be presented in the more intimate Vancouver Playhouse. Led by Maestro Leslie Dala, the orchestra will perform the re-orchestration of Rossini’s score. A refreshingly youthful cast will be directed by Jessie-Richardson-Award-winner Rachel Peake who directed Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro for Vancouver Opera in 2017. Vancouver native Simone McIntosh, praised for her beautiful, gleaming high mezzo-soprano voice, sings the title role of Cinderella. This popular opera hasn’t been seen at Vancouver Opera since 1981!
