You probably know the story of Cinderella, but did you know Rossini composed his own operatic version?
La Cenerentola, which premiered in 1817, is a comic opera inspired by the Cinderella fairytale. Instead of relying on a magical fairy godmother and a glass slipper, Rossini's version focuses on kindness, forgiveness, and the triumph of a good heart.
There is romance, humor, mistaken identity, and, of course, a happy ending. What better way to celebrate a fairytale than with a dessert that feels a little magical? Cinerentola was the first Rossini opera I performed. I fell in love with it because I could do so much with the character...comedy-wise.
