Welcome to YourClassical Storytime! Today's story is all about a young woman …
Welcome to YourClassical Storytime! Today's story is all about a young woman who has many names all around the world, but the one you probably know best is Cinderella. Did you know the Cinderella story was written more than 300 years ago by a Frenchman named Charles Perrault? And Cinderella wasn't the only famous story he gave us. Among his other characters are Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots and another famous princess, Sleeping Beauty. Classical music writers also loved Cinderella. More than 200 years ago, Italian composer Giacchino Rossini wrote a very funny opera called La Cenerentola. "Cenerentola" means "Cinderella" in Italian. But you won't meet all the usual characters in Rossini's opera. He's taken some out and added new ones. Instead of the Fairy Godmother, there's Alidoro, teacher and friend to the Prince. He helps Cinderella get to the ball. And rather than a wicked stepmother, there's her nasty stepfather, Don Magnifico, who insists he had a dream that his daughters, Clorinde and Tisby, will become royalty. Cinderella's real name is revealed as Angelina. And there's no glass slipper! Instead, there's a pair of matching diamond bracelets. And so our story begins.
