Fort Worth Opera Closes Season with ‘La Cenerentola’

By Francisco Salazar

The Fort Worth Opera is set to conclude its 79th season with Rossini’s “La Cenerentola.”

The company will present the work at Bass Performance Hall on April 25 and 27, 2025, marking the company’s first full-scale production in the iconic location since 2019.

In a statement, General & Artistic Director Angela Turner Wilson said, “This is a thrilling moment for Fort Worth Opera. ‘La Cenerentola’ is the perfect blend of comedy, romance, vocal fireworks, and theatrical exuberance. We are proud to present it with sets, costumes, and the full Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra bringing Rossini’s score to life in the splendor of Bass Performance Hall.”

She added, “This Cinderella is about good deeds and good hearts winning the day. The love story is deep and real as Angelina and her Prince fall in love long before the ball, but the opera is also packed with hilarious antics, over-the-top characters, lush settings, and Rossini’s perfect score.”

New York- and Dallas-based director and choreographer Candace Evans leads the production with Christian Capocaccia conducting.

The cast will include mezzo-soprano Stephanie Doche as Angelina and tenor Victor Ryan Robertson as Prince Ramiro. They will be joined by Adelmo Guidarelli, Efraín Solís, Eric McKeever, Hannah Madeleine Goodman, and Mariam Mouwad.
