La Cenerentola, or Goodness Triumphant, is an opera in two acts after the music of Gioachino Rossini and the libretto by Jacopo Ferretti. La Cenerentola is based on the fairytale Cendrillon, the little glass slipper, by Charles Perrault. The protagonists of the fairy tale resemble in a large part the German Cinderella from the fairy tale collection by the Brothers Grimm. Unlike the fairy tale, Rossini's La Cenerentola contains no elements of magic and fantasy. The music of the opera, although it is actually considered an opera buffa, can be classified between an opera seria and an opera semiseria.Save yourself tickets for a fairy tale like evening in the Vienna State Opera and book tickets at www.viennaticket.at!
