ENO Annual Appeal

Thank you for supporting the Cinderella Appeal!

The classic story of true love, magic pumpkins, and evil stepmothers gets turned upside down in Rossini’s retelling of the family-favourite fairytale. Cinderella (La Cenerentola) doesn’t have a glass slipper and a magical godmother like the Disney movie, but a beautiful bracelet and Alidoro, a philosopher, as her helper to meet the prince. But the opera does not lose any of the story’s magic with Rossini’s charming melodies and a spell-binding libretto by Jacopo Ferretti.

Rossini’s 20th opera, which he wrote when he was only 25 years old, opened our 2025/26 Season, and it was our pleasure to share this outstanding new production with you!

Our incredibly talented staff from across the company worked hard to bring this beautiful production to life and through your donation, you can become part of the magic.

If you are able, please donate to the Annual Appeal to bring La Cenerentola to life this autumn.

Or if you already supported generously. Thank you so much from the bottom of our heart!
