San Francisco Opera broadcasts continue on Classical 90.5 at noon this Saturday, October 10, with a performance of La Cenerentola by Gioachino Rossini, set to a libretto by Jacopo Ferretti. The opera's story was based on the fairy tale Cendrillon by Charles Perrault. The performance will be sung in Italian and will run approximately two hours and forty-five minutes.

Thanks to her open heart and determination, Cinderella triumphs over her mean-spirited relatives in Rossini’s sparkling version of the story. Karine Deshayes, lauded for her “emotional depth and vibrant, beautiful sound” (The New York Times), makes her San Francisco Opera debut in the beloved fairy tale about a gentle but courageous servant girl who catches the eye of a handsome prince. In San Francisco Opera’s charming and heartwarming production, esteemed Spanish conductor Jesús López-Cobos leads a superb cast.
