La Cenerentola is now available on DVD ( 074 3305), featuring Juan Diego in the role of Prince Ramiro in Rossini’s sparkling comedy with the American mezzo-soprano, Joyce DiDonato in the title role.
The DVD was filmed in High Definition widescreen and presents Joan Font’s strikingly colourful, toy-town staging of Perrault’s tale, using dancers as rats, and finally revealing the action to have been Cinderella’s dream.
The next DVD release in early 2010 will be the acclaimed Met production of Bellini's La Sonnambula with Natalie Dessay.
