A little known treasure

(5 out of 5 stars)

"La Gatta Cenerentola is a little known folk opera that showcases the rich world of Neapolitan song and singing styles. The songs are beautifully crafted and sung. A must for anyone who loves Mediterranean music or wants to explore the roots of opera. the music is both exotic and strangely familiar all at the same time."

Another look on Naples

"Based on the popular tale of Cinderella, theme of the theatral work of Roberto de Simone, this kind of opera gives a colorful version of a classic of children's litterature. Beautiful napolitain dialet voices (Beppe Barra overall) and festive atmosphere. something of very different from "O' sole mio" or similar classic napolitain songs. Ideal for who wants to approach to the mediterranean music in a ethnologic way."
