Set in Happily Ever After

Unlike the Rossini version, the carriage and the glass slipper are back in this famous romantic fantasy based on the Cinderella fairy tale.

After much beautiful music, magical developments, and all the elements that make up such tales, the lovers are reunited and all live happily ever after. Who can resist the desire to believe that dreams really can come true? (And who doesn’t want a Fairy Godmother?)

Sung in French with English supertitles
