Rossini was a master of building tension and comedy simultaneously. His opera 'La Cenerentola' features complex duets and massive sextets where characters express contrasting emotions at the same time, layering rapid, chattering voices over each other to create musical chaos, but at the same time 'strict' patterns enjoyable for the audience to hear and de-code. Imagine this masterpiece with beautiful voices? Here is a chance to hear all this and in Devon - Don't miss it!

What a truly magnificent evening with Exeter Opera Group at Crediton Arts Centre! The people from the audience commented that the performance of La Cenerentola was nothing short of outstanding. The singing was exceptional throughout—rich, expressive, and full of brilliance—bringing Rossini’s music vividly to life. Equally impressive was the acting, with every performer delivering with charm, wit, and genuine emotion. Thank you, Crediton audience, for your warm support! Thank you, Crediton Arts Centre, for organizing the event so beautifully!

Rossini's opera 'La Cenerentola' is in some way a happy, human-centered alternative to the fairy tale, focusing on love and forgiveness rather than magic. However from 'technical' point of view, the performance demands extreme vocal athleticism, blending rapid-fire agility with deep emotional pathos. How does EOG present the opera? Come and see our performance in Ilminster. Don't miss it!
