UCF Opera presents Cendrillon

UCF Celebrates the Arts

UCF Opera students to sing “Cendrillon” by Pauline Viardot – in French with English supertitles.

UCF Opera brings the fairy tale of Cinderella to life in Pauline Viardot’s enchanting Opéra Comique in Three Acts, Cendrillon. In this version of the story, we meet all our favorite characters: the beleaguered Marie (Cendrillon), a bumbling stepfather, Baron de Pictordu, the awkward stepsisters Armelinde and Maguelonne, the Fairy Godmother, and, of course, Prince Charming and his chamberlain, Barigoule. Viardot’s retelling of this well-loved story is simple, amusing, and charming. This is a family-friendly production to be enjoyed by opera aficionados and absolute newcomers to the genre.

This opera will be performed in French with English subtitles; recommended age is 8+.
