Opera San José’s staging of Alma Deutscher’s “Cinderella” is set to stream for free beginning July 22, 2023.

The production, which was filmed at the California Theatre in San Jose last fall, featured the operatic conducting debut of prodigy composer/musician Deutscher.

The cast featured Natalia Santaliz as Cinderella, Joey Hammod-Leppek as The Prince, Ben Brady as The King, Stacey Tappan as Griselda, Julia Dawson as Zibaldona, Rena Harms as The Stepmother, Megan Esther Grey as Fairy, and Joshua Hughes as The Minister.

In a statement, Opera San José General Director Shawna Lucey said, “Through the generous support and leadership of the Packard Humanities Institute, we are so proud to share with a worldwide audience this production featuring Alma conducting her own opera, as captured in performance with Opera San José in 2022. Her opera transports parents and children alike with humor and brilliance. When Alma picked up her baton to conduct her gem of an opera, supported by an incredible cast, sparkling orchestra, witty direction, and gorgeous settings, we knew our audiences were in for an absolute treat. It is now such a thrill to offer this experience to viewers everywhere.”
