Synopsis

Cinderella - an opera by Alma Deutscher. Piano Vocal Score
Cinderella - eine Oper von Alma Deutcher. Klavierauszug
Alma Deutscher’s opera Cinderella was first performed in 2015 when she was ten and was successively revised and expanded until she was fifteen. In Alma’s take on the traditional fairy-tale, Cinderella is not just a pretty girl who wins the Prince because of her dainty foot. Cinderella is a talented composer, envied and oppressed by her stepmother, who runs an opera house, and by her stepsisters, both operatic would-be divas. Cinderella nevertheless triumphs because of her talent: Cinderella and the Prince, a poet, will find one another, just as a poem finds its melody.

“A young talent’s sensational burst to prominence... The once-in-a-lifetime opera-going event that had audiences standing and cheering.” Opera Today, 2017.

“When the orchestral version of Cinderella premiered in Vienna, Alma Deutscher became an instant shooting star. Cinderella is exhilarating, enchantingly moving, and spiced with finely ground comedy, and it was deservedly honoured with a standing ovation.” Orpheus Magazine (2021).

“an opera of astounding wit, craft, and musical beauty… A smart producer would mount Cinderella on Broadway. In addition to its comedic force, its score puts recent musicals to shame, whether from the Disney franchise or Andrew Lloyd Webber.” (The New Criterion, 2018).
