"Instead of one Fairy Godmother, Cinderella and Don Ramiro are guided by a chorus of ancestral spirits, an otherworldly team who steer the pair towards love with a sprinkling of fairy dust. Expect surprises: there are pumpkins, mice and a glass slipper, although not where you might think. And of course, no Cinderella opera would be complete without a beautiful gown fit for a Princess."
"Technically, there are seats from £14, but those don't include a view of the surtitles, which is sort of a big problem if you're new to the opera. (surtitles are projected above the stage to aid audience comprehension of foreign languages) However, if you look for the red stars on the left and right of the Upper Circle (and rows H & J in the middle), they are just £15 and offer a clear view of the stage and the surtitles."
Contemporary London provides the setting for a modern reimagining of Gioachino Rossini's romantic opera Cinderella. A chorus of ancestral spirits replaces a single Fairy Godmother to guide Cinderella and Don Ramiro toward love with fairy dust. Traditional motifs appear with twists: pumpkins, mice and a glass slipper feature in unexpected places alongside a beautiful princess gown. Budget-friendly tickets are available, with seats priced at £15 for performances on 9 and 14 October. Cheaper £14 seats lack a surtitles view. Seats marked by red stars in the Upper Circle (rows H and J) offer stage and surtitles visibility for £15.
