Garden Opera Thursday 9th February 2006
Rossini - La Cenerentola
Performed in a brand-new
translation by Olivier Award-winning librettist Amanda Holden, we can
look forward to a laughter-filled evening as Rossini’s
fizzing score follows Cinderella on her journey from rags-to-riches,
besting her buffoonish father and deliciously malicious sisters on the
way.
‘This is real opera, with characters coming alive in the music’ THE
TIMES

in Britain’ OPERA NOW 2003

passion of Argentinian Tango. Their performance includes ‘Nuevo
Tango’ masterpieces by Astor Piazolla and music from the golden
era of Tango, alongside addictive traditional melodies and dazzling virtuoso
fiddling. The band’s own material, inspired by both gypsy and tango,
