Celebrated for making opera accessible and entertaining, Pacific Opera Project returned to The Ford for Rossini’s charming take on the Cinderella story, La Cenerentola, on Friday, August 27, 2021. In this version of the fairytale, the wicked stepmother is a stepfather, Don Magnifico, and Cenerentola is forced to serve as the maid in her own home. In search of a bride, Prince Ramiro disguises his tutor as a beggar, to whom Cenerentola shows kindness, proving her good heartedness. After refusing to fall for the wiles of Cenerentola’s stepsisters and stepfather, Ramiro wins her heart with a matching bracelet. POP’s Founding Artistic Director, Josh Shaw, designed and directed this rollicking Rossini classic, which was sung in Italian with English subtitles and featured a 25-piece orchestra led by Kristin Roach.
