Podcast: Cendrillon
Katie Derham explores Massenet's lavish opera Cendrillon
Every child learns the story of Cinderella, but fairy tales can be far more than just a bedtime story. In this Glyndebourne podcast, we explore Massenet’s Cendrillon, a lavish opera that entertains even as it unsettles.
Contributions come from Fiona Shaw, who directed Glyndebourne’s first production of the opera, conductor Duncan Ward and cultural historian Christopher Cook.
