A new production of Joaquino Rossini’s opera “Cinderella” will premiere
Riga, November 16, LETA. A new production of Joaquino Rossini’s opera “Cinderella” will premiere at the Latvian National Opera and Ballet (LNOB) on November 28 at 7 p.m.
As LNOB spokeswoman Irbe Treile informed LETA, the story of Rosini’s opera has turned into a fun drama for adults. The creative team of the production moved the opera to the 1930s in a New York cabaret mood.
The Italian composer Rosini created the opera Cinderella at the age of twenty-five in twenty-four days, and it had its first performance in Rome in 1817. The new production of LNOB is the first performance of this opera in Latvia.
The creative duo “Barbe & Doucet” – Reno Dusse and Andre Barbs – has created the direction, choreography, scenography and costumes. The musical director of the new production is Peter Halass. The premiere and performances in December will be conducted by Andris Veismanis. The lighting artist of the new performance is Oskars Pauliņš.
The opera “Cinderella” was staged for the first time in Latvia. The performance was made in collaboration with the Toulouse Opera, where it will be premiered in 2023.
The title role in the new performance will be interpreted by Hungarian mezzo-soprano Dorotea Langa, in the roles of Pablo Martiness or Mihails Čulpajevs, Krišjānis Norvelis or Pavlo Balakins, Kalvis Kalniņš or Rinalds Kandalincevs LNOB dancers, a group of choir men and an orchestra will take part in the show.
