CINDERELLA - Florentine Opera Company


  • Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall, Marcus Performing Arts Center 929 North Water Street Milwaukee, WI, 53202 United States (map)

Kathryn returns to Florentine Opera Company to debut the title role in Viardot’s Cendrillon.

Franz Liszt named Viardot a “Genius woman composer” before she even wrote this French opera in miniature. This Cinderella is "a retelling of the Cinderella story with Gallic wit, Italianate bel canto, and a quirkiness all her own.” A godmother becomes a bumbling stepfather, and the fairy godmother appears as a guest who entertains the guests with the song. Look for 2019 Baumgartner Studio Artist alumnus Kathryn Henry stars as Cinderella.

Conductor: Robert Mollicone
Director: Jill Anna Ponasik
Cendrillon: Kathryn Henry
