he Bel Canto opera masterpiece, "La Cenerentola" is one of the most admired pieces by the Italian greatest composer Gioachino ROSSINI, and is an opera version of the familiar Cinderella story.

The production was directed by AGUNI Jun and drew a great deal of attention for its take on the story of Cinderella, set in a film studio inspired by the Cinecittà of Rome in the 1950s and 1960s, a time when Italian cinema was in full glory.
