About
Rossini's opera La Cenerentola is at De Munt in Brussel, with Daniel Kramer directing and Speranza Scappucci and Stefano Sarzani conducting. Performances run from 15 to 31 December 2026.
What to expect
Gioachino Rossini's opera La Cenerentola follows Assepoester, who is humiliated by her stepsisters and sees her fortune squandered by her father. Through her goodness and courage she wins the heart of Prince Don Ramiro, who sees her true worth.
Gioachino Rossini, a brilliant composer for the human voice, created a new tour de force with La Cenerentola. The opera has virtuosic arias, sustained vocal lines, subtle nuances, swift exchanges and rich expression that sharply characterise the characters.
Its ensembles, from duets to a dizzying sextet, are among the most memorable in the repertoire. For his Munt debut, director Daniel Kramer brings the Charles Perrault story to life with magic, humour and underlying darkness.
Speranza Scappucci and Stefano Sarzani conduct and both make their debut in Brussel.
