The Fort Worth Opera presented a stellar production of Gioachino Rossini’s La Cenerentola, an operatic version of Cinderella, the much-loved and oft-told fairy tale. Modern audiences know the 1950 Disney version–replete with ugly stepsisters, funny fairies, glass slippers, pumpkin chariots, and a handsome (unmarried) prince.

Both singers and the Fort Worth Symphony did the company proud.
