Cenerentola - Rossini's opera based on the fairy tale Cinderella, filmed in real life Italian locations in the ballrooms and gardens of some of Turin's finest palaces. The opera was filmed live at the time of day the scenes occurred including the famous ballroom scene. The characters, costumes and dance scenes make this a visually pleasing take on the story. Also features an introduction to the story and opera by Katie Derham.
