After a sold-out American premiere in 2017, prodigy composer/musician Alma Deutscher returns to make her opera conducting debut in a production driven and supported by the Packard Humanities Institute (PHI). OSJ and PHI are thrilled to be joining forces once more to welcome Deutscher back for this pivotal moment in her career.
Based on the classic fairy tale, this family-friendly work is reset at an opera company run by a scheming stepmother, in which the title character is a brilliant composer, laboring as a copyist.
In this production, Cinderella is united with the prince not due to the fit of a glass slipper, but with the beginning of a melody only she knows how to continue.
