Joyce DiDonato stars in the title role of Massenet's delightful Cinderella story, seen in a charming new production by Laurent Pelly, with Alice Coote as her Prince Charming. Bertrand de Billy conducts. In addition to the performance, join us for cocktails and dinner on the Mercedes T. Bass Grand Tier. "Glorious," raved the New York Times when Joyce DiDonato sang the title role of Cendrillon at the Royal Opera in 2011. "Her performance was thoroughly enchanting." Now, for the first time ever, Massenet's sumptuous take on the Cinderella story comes to the Met, with DiDonato starring in the title role. She is paired with mezzo-soprano Alice Coote in the trouser role of Prince Charming, Kathleen Kim as the Fairy Godmother, and Stephanie Blythe as the imperious Madame de la Haltière. Bertrand de Billy conducts Laurent Pelly's imaginative storybook production. Dirigent: Bertrand de Billy, Produktion: Laurent Pelly - Gesungen in Französisch (mit deutschen Untertiteln)
