With Joyce DiDonato as Cinderella capturing all hearts – not just Prince Charming’s – Massenet’s enchanting, sophisticated retelling of the classic fairytale makes its debut at Covent Garden in a charming and witty production by Laurent Pelly. The Cinderella story seen through the eyes of the belle poque, Massenet’s Cendrillon was first performed at the Opra-Comique in Paris in 1899 and its gorgeous score embraces pathos, pastiche, broad humour, subtle eroticism and sheer magic.
This DVD is in fact the break a leg version which sees Joyce DiDonato perform her role in a wheelchair - a story which has occupied international headlines last year - and definitely a DVD which will stand out. The DVD includes bonus features like an interview with Joyce on her stage accident and subsequent wheelchair performances. Captured at London's Royal Opera House with an unbeatable cast in a sparkling colourful production this Barbiere offers a unique dramatic twist: Joyce DiDonato who had broken her leg on the first night of the run insisted on performing. As she said : Being trapped in the wheelchair was a quite literal way of demonstrating Rosina's huge desire to break free.
