Joyce DiDonato stars as 'Cendrillon' at The Metropolitan Opera

This spring at The Metropolitan Opera, audiences can enjoy Massenet’s Cendrillon for the first time ever on the Met stage, with Joyce DiDonato in the title role. The whimsical staging, directed by Laurent Pelly, comes to life April 12 through May 11. Alice Coote sings Le Prince Charmant, Stephanie Blythe is Madame de la Haltière, Laurent Naouri is Pandolfe, and Kathleen Kim sings La Fée. Bertrand de Billy conducts the Met Opera Orchestra for all performances. On April 28 international audiences can enjoy Cendrillon via a Met Opera Live in HD cinema broadcast.

A DVD of this production from Royal Opera House is available for purchase via Warner Classics.

We need you to make us feel an integral PART of a shared existence through the communal, universal, forgiving language of music, of dance, of poetry and Art – so that we never lose sight of the fact that we are all in this together and that we are all deserving of a life that overflows with immense possibility, improbable beauty and relentless truth.
