Summary:

The Met rang in 2022 with a little bit of operatic magic, presenting the New Year's Day matinee performance of Cinderella to audiences worldwide as part of the Live in HD series of cinema transmissions. An abridged, English-language version of Massenet's enchanting fairy-tale opera, this performance stars beloved mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as the rags-to-riches title princess, with Emmanuel Villaume on the podium to lead a witty and whimsical production by Laurent Pelly. The spellbinding cast also features mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo as the love-struck Prince Charming, soprano Jessica Pratt as the spunky Fairy Godmother, mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the wicked Madame de la Haltière, and bass-baritone Laurent Naouri as Cinderella's compassionate but meek father, Pandolfe.
