CHICAGO - A whimsical, wildly colorful production of Rossini's delightful opera Cinderella opens this Sunday afternoon at Lyric Opera of Chicago, with eight performances through Friday, October 30. Performance dates are October 4 and 30at 2pm, and October 7, 10, 13, 17, 23, 26 at 7:30pm. The familiar story (with a few different twists) make it a great first opera experience.

The all-star cast features Isabel Leonard as Angelina (a.k.a. Cinderella), Lawrence Brownlee (debut) as charming Prince Ramiro, Alessandro Corbelli as nasty stepfather Don Magnifico, Vito Priante (debut) as the prince's crafty servant Dandini, and Christian Van Horn as the prince's wise advisor Alidoro. The mean stepsisters Clorinda and Tisbe are played by Diana Newman and Annie Rosen(both debuts and first-year members of the Ryan Opera Center). Sir Andrew Davis conducts this opera for the first time in a new-to-Chicago production. Making their company debuts are director Joan Font, production designer Joan Guillen, lighting designer Albert Faura, choreographer Xevi Dorca, and associate director Joan Anton Rechi, all longtime collaborators from Barcelona. Michael Black is chorus master. Check out a first look at the production below!
