Trailer: Alma conducts Cinderella
The full video is here: • CINDERELLA by ALMA DEUTSCHER. Part ONE
“A young talent’s sensational burst to prominence... The once-in-a-lifetime opera-going event that had audiences standing and cheering.” Opera Today.
“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.
The Packard Humanities Institute presents Opera San José 's opulent staging of Alma Deutscher’s opera Cinderella, conducted by the composer, in her opera conducting debut.
