Great Performances at the Met: Cendrillon

Tune in this Sunday, September 9 at 12 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) to watch a performance of Massenet’s Cendrillon recorded live at the Metropolitan Opera.

Laurent Pelly’s imaginative production of Massenet’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale Cinderella stars Joyce DiDonato as the titular heroine and Alice Coote as Prince Charming, alongside Kathleen Kim as the Fairy Godmother, Laurent Naouri as Pandolfe and Stephanie Blythe as Madame de la Haltière. Bertrand de Billy conducts. Ailyn Pérez hosts.

As an artist, you will never arrive at a fixed destination. THIS is the glory and the reward of striving to master your craft and embarking on the path of curiosity and imagination, while being tireless in your pursuit of something greater than yourself.
