La Cenerentola: La Cenerentola Rossini

The list of »Cinderella« versions is a long one – 
that is no wonder, with generations of viewers moved by the story of the unhappy stepdaughter, who is finally allowed her happy end. Why? Maybe less because of her being »rescued« by the wealthy prince but more so because of the final confirmation that kindness and a pure heart can conquer all evil. Gioachino Rossini secularised the bewitching supernatural moments of the material and interspersed the French melodrama, which served as his model, with socio-critical elements as traditionally found in the opera buffa. His »Cenerentola« thus became a modern retelling of a beloved tale whose heroes have to prove themselves in the shallows, injustices and absurdities of a disillusioned present. Musically, he created a so-called semiseria genre, i.e. a semi-serious opera in which his brilliant buffo art is interspersed with sentimental and occasionally even tragic tones. In the current performance series staged by Sven-Eric Bechtolf, which shifts the plot to the fictional and eccentric small kingdom of San Sogno, Marianne Crebassa sings the title role for the first time.

Die Liste der Aschenbrödel-Bearbeitungen ist lang – kein Wunder, ließen sich durch die Geschichte der unglücklichen Stieftochter, die letztendlich ein Happy End erleben darf, doch Generationen von Zuschauern rühren. Warum? Vielleicht weniger aufgrund der »Rettung« durch den vermögenden Prinzen als durch die finale Bestätigung, dass Güte und ein reines Herz alle Widrigkeiten besiegen können. Gioachino Rossini säkularisierte die märchenhaft-übernatürlichen Momente des Stoffes und durchsetzte das französische Rührstück, das ihm als Vorlage diente, mit sozialkritischen Elementen aus der Tradition der Opera buffa. Seine Cenerentola wurde so zur modernen Nacherzählung eines bekannten, alten Märchenstoffes, dessen Helden sich in den Untiefen, Ungerechtigkeiten und Absurditäten einer entzauberten Gegenwart bewähren müssen. Musikalisch schuf er eine sogenannte »Semiseria«, also eine halbernste Oper, in der er seine brillante Buffokunst mit sentimentalen und gelegentlich sogar tragischen Tönen durchmischt. Die Inszenierung Sven-Eric Bechtolfs verlagert die Handlung in das fiktive und spleenige Mini-Königreich San Sogno.
