OPERA SAN JOSÉ
ALMA DEUTSCHER’S CINDERELLA
CALIFORNIA THEATRE
345 SOUTH FIRST ST. / SAN JOSE
11/12 – 11/27/22 (evenings & matinees)
GUEST: NATALIA SANTALIZ / “CINDERELLA”
Join David as he speaks with Soprano Natalia Santaliz, who is Cinderella in Alma Deutscher’s Cinderella.
Deutscher, now 17 years old, began writing her reimagined opera Cinderella at age 8, and premiered the first version in 2015. After subsequent performances (with revisions) around the world, she now returns to Opera San José with her latest vision. Deutscher based the opera on the original fairytale, with some compositional character, plot point and setting changes from the musical mind and pen of a composer/musician. These Opera San José performances also mark the debut of Deutscher taking the baton and podium to conduct her opera.
Opera San José will also present Cinderella Family Day for the Saturday 11/19/22 2:00PM performance where the children’s ticket price will be “Pay Their Age” (must be purchased online and accompanied by an adult).
This production also features singers from the Ragazzi Boys Chorus.
