IT’s time to be carried away by act and overture, costume and score, and be thoroughly entertained by Lyster Opera’s production of ‘La Cenerentola’ (Cinderella) by Gioachino Rossini
For one spectacular afternoon at Oxley Shire Hall, the stage will come alive with operatic drama and whimsy as the story of Cinderella unfolds through a frolic of exquisite costumes, subplots, disguises and song.
Continuing in the fine tradition of William Saurin Lyster (1828-1880), an Irishman who made it his mission to bring opera to the people, Lyster Opera’s Cinderella will engage all ages with a narrator throughout to draw in even the youngest patron.
With professional performers and based on a Rossini score with markings from the great composer himself, Cinderella is a wonderful way to enjoy a story with universal appeal while being enthralled and entertained.
In great anticipation of taking his opera on the road, Cinderella director and performer, Jaimie Moffat said,
“We are so delighted to be travelling, bringing the music, fun and hilarity of Cinderella to regional Victoria. After all the recent turmoil and events, it is a great way to enjoy an operatic extravaganza.”
Lyster Opera presents ‘La Cenerentola’ by Gioachino Rossini at Oxley Shire Hall, 1157 Snow Road, Oxley on Saturday, November 12 at 2.00pm. Tickets are $30 with $25 for concession holders and can be purchased at www.lysteropera.com.au
