  Take Rossini's winning version of the Cinderella story, the best venue for opera in the Bay Area, and delightful execution by Opera SJ, and you have a recipe for three hours of pure entertainment. (Our 5-year-old daughter sat rapt with my wife and myself at the Nov 22 show.) Daniel Cilli was a stellar, scene-stealing Dandini who used his outstanding vocal agility to great comic effect. Michael Dailey negotiated Ramiro's high passages with noble and tender tone. Betany Coffland is a rich mezzo who was more than up to the challenge of Rossini's careening vocal lines for Angelina ("Cinderella"). She blended beautifully with Dailey, and perhaps most important of all, her spot-on, kind-but-assertive stage presence as the title character carried the show. The other leads and the chorus held up their parts admirably as well. (As a side note, the supertitles perfectly conveyed the wit and humanity of the libretto.) In short, a must-see at the California Theatre! Collapse

  Opera SJ is a gem, and a gift to the Bay Area! Our whole family saw La Cenerentola on Nov 14. All the voices were absolutely wonderful. The orchestra sounded rich and exciting. The physical comedy and costumes kept our 9 year old laughing and engaged, and the superb singing kept our 16 year old opera fan completely enthralled. Don Magnifico (stepfather) and Tisbe (stepsister) were especially funny and convincing - the singers created such full characters. The physical comedy was wonderfully fresh, yet did not distract from the amazing beauty of the music. All the performers made Rossini seem effortless. This is also a great opera for youngsters, and for those new to opera. You have to go and see this! La Cenerentola has become one of my favorites. Collapse
