We have teamed up with the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre to give some lucky winners the chance to win a pair of tickets to the opening night of the Irish National Opera: Cinderella/ La Cenerentola on November 10th.
“It’s not fair!” The notion of justice is of paramount importance to children, and key to the appeal of the Cinderella story. But whatever your favourite version, you will find something uniquely dark, yet sparkling and touchingly redemptive in Rossini’s La Cenerentola. This production unfolds from the very pages of books and celebrates the idea of literature, of fantasy, of escapism, and most importantly of Goodness Triumphant. The age-old fairytale resonates as much today as it did in times gone by.
The story of Cinderella has been whisked up into an opera many times. But only once with the sparkle and affection of Rossini’s version of 1817. The title role is taken by Tara Erraught, Ireland’s most sought-after singer, who is celebrated for her rich vocal fireworks and dynamic stage presence, and is especially acclaimed in the operas of Rossini.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
All prices include a €1.00 facilities fee per ticket. Telephone & Internet bookings are subject to a maximum s/c of €7.15 per ticket / Agents €3.40. For more information visit here.
