Chabrier’s L’Étoile is one of the great works in the opera bouffe tradition. With its splendidly silly plot – the Marx Brothers would have loved it! – and Chabrier’s constantly inventive music, the effect a kind of French Gilbert and Sullivan, crossed with surrealism and the theater of the absurd – guaranteed to entertain!

Rossini’s version of a classic fairytale is filled with infectious bel canto musical thrills. Listen and watch as the gentle Cenerentola suffers the cruelty of her heartless but hilariously step-family.
