Enter the heart of creation and discover the artists at work!

The Paris National Opera offers Arop members the privilege of observing the work of the artists and the genesis of a production at different times: work sessions, pre-dress rehearsals and dress rehearsals.

LA CENERENTOLA

Once upon a time, there was... the story of Cinderella. But a Cinderella without fairies, pumpkins or glass slippers. Gioacchino Rossini’s opera, based on a libretto by Jacopo Ferretti, is a far cry from Charles Perrault’s version!

Although stripped of supernatural elements, this work, created in 1817 for the Carnival of Rome, nonetheless delivers its store of magic. That of a sparkling score with irresistible tunes that Rossini composed in just 24 days, topping off this tour de force with a blend of virtuoso comedy and tender melancholy.

Director Guillaume Gallienne places the characters on the edge of a volcano ready to erupt, delicately underlining the halftones of this multi-faceted score.
