Southeastern Louisiana University’s Opera Workshop will present Cendrillon (Cinderella) by French composer Pauline Viardot Feb. 16 – 19. Scheduled in Pottle Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. each evening, the production is free.
Opera Workshop first presented this retelling of the familiar Cinderella fairy tale in the spring of 2013, and there are a few twists in this version said Opera/Music Theatre Workshop Director Chuck Effler.
For a quarter of a century, starting around 1850, Viardot was one of the most famous opera singers in Europe and Russia, and one of the most influential European musicians until her death in 1910.
