Adapted by Joshua Borths
Based on the operas by Gioachino Rossini and Jules Massenet
Featuring the JMU Opera Theatre

Once upon a time, a young prince threw a royal ball to choose his future bride! Everyone in the kingdom was invited, but Cinderella was forced to stay behind by her devious stepfather, Don Magnifico, and her shallow stepsister. However, with the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella wins the day, transforming herself-and the kingdom-along the way. Adapted for young audiences and featuring beloved music from two different adaptations of the classic fairytale, this family opera is sure to delight audiences of all ages, leaving everyone with a smile on their face and a song in their heart. 35-minute children’s opera sung in English. Recommended for ages 6 and up.
