Opera in two acts by Gioachino Rossini. Libretto by Jacopo Ferretti. In February 1816, a few days after the creation of Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Rossini received a new order from the Teatro Valle in Rome. Curiously, the career of La Cenerentola looks like Barbiere’s : after a rather hostile audience’s verdict at the first performance, the work is gaining popularity, receives great acclaim in most Italian theaters and quickly conquers the world with the presence of the greatest glories of romantic song in the cast ( Luigi Lablache, Antonio Tamburini, Malibran , Viardot, ...). The opening of La Cenerentola is one of the most famous Rossini’s ones and is a model of lightness, freshness and spirit. The work is also innovative as it includes a violent contrast produced by the heroin’s tenderness and the sentimentalism of the plot, with Rossini’s virtuosity of style and unbridled funny side. This virtuosity is present in all his work and doesn’t spare any role, appealing by the way to the rebirth of a whole school of singing.
