There are many musical versions of Cinderella, but which one will we encounter today?
Today we'll start with opera. Gioachino Rossini's "Cinderella" (La Cenerentola) premiered just 5 years after the Grimm's story was published. The storyline includes a lot of scenes that are great for the opera stage, like a big thunderstorm and trouble with a horse drawn carriage.
Listen to the overture. Does it make you feel like there's a lot of drama ahead?
