This is a performance that meets the Glyndebourne gold standard... Hall has decided to keep it real and produced something understated, sensitive and thus deeply pleasurable.

An unexpected pleasure
A wonderful production of a version of the Cinderella story that has little of the fairy tale about it. Rossini's choruses are as thrilling as you'd expect them to be and are performed with precision as well as bounce. The libretto surprised me with its intelligence and the scope for 'reflection' it gives to one of the secondary characters, the Prince's valet. All the roles are sung and acted well. There is little to criticise here.
Very enjoyable. -
