Goodness, cruelty, avarice, generosity, falsehood,
frankness, ambition, intelligence, lies, innocence, egoism and beauty are some
of the elements “La Cenerentola” offers. It is a comic opera with Jacopo
Ferretti's libretto and Gioachino Rossini's music. It is being performed at the
Teatro Colón (Cerrito 628, CABA). The orchestra is directed by R.
Censabella. The professional cast, with their fantastic voices accompanied by
the music, delights our ears and brings our souls the pinch of beauty necessary
to make us feel better. The set design, varied and colorful, contributes to the
opera's development. The costume design
by Gino Bogani is beautiful. Scene and visual media director is Sergio Renan.
With tickets sold out, excellent interpretations and public enthusiasm, the
theatre shines. People have the possibility to enjoy and reflect on human
beings, their miseries and greatness. You can't miss it!!!
Next performance: October 5/ October 7

La Cenerentola (Cinderella) Synopsis and Character Descriptions
The Teatro Colón (Columbus Theatre) is the main opera house in Buenos Aires, Argentina, acoustically considered to be amongst the five best concert venues in
the world. By the mid-1850s, with the
flourishing of opera performed by touring companies, the need for a new theatre
became obvious. In 1854 alone, 53 different operas were performed in the city.
The first Teatro Colón building, overlooking Plaza de Mayo, was started in 1856 and opened on April 27,
1857, with Verdi's La traviata, just four years after its Italian premiere. The
theatre was designed by Charles Pellegrini.
