Palm Beach Opera Presents: Fairy Tales and Folk Stories in Opera

Learn how familiar fairy tales and folk stories have been transformed into operas, from the comic to the grotesque. Consider why well-known narratives are useful source material for composers, and why audiences are attracted to these works by discovering excerpts from Giaochino Rossini’s La Cenerentola (Cinderella), Béla Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle, and Ottorino Respighi’s La bella dormente nel bosco (Sleeping Beauty).
