"Emma Dante's production will not have come cheap - Vanessa Sannino's costumes are a particular feature - nor would the singers, given that his is a good a Cenerentola cast as any international house might currently muster ... Alessandro Corbelli's Magnifico remains without equal today in terms of stagecraft and delivery of text ... The Dandini is Vito Priante, no less, superb ... No one, however, shows off the production's vocal riches more completely than Ugo Guagliardo in the 'comprimario' role of Alidoro, the prince's tutor ... Juan Francisco Gatell's Prince looks a bit of a wimp ... but he is a strong performer ... Serena Malfi is at her best vocally in the middle and lower registers ... Conductor Alejo Pérez allows his singers the space they need ... This Rome production is high on entertainment value, as well as being exceptionally well performed".
