Ópera Fuerteventura has announced two November performances of Rossini’s Cinderella, with seven soloists, an orchestra and a choir.
Ópera Fuerteventura has presented its 11th festival, with a new production of Gioachino Rossini’s comic opera La Cenerentola. Performances will take place at 8pm on 19 and 21 November 2026 at the Palacio de Formación y Congresos de Fuerteventura.
The festival runs from 15 to 22 November. Tickets for the opera performances are available online, with further information on the Ópera Fuerteventura website.
A Cinderella story with Rossini’s music
La Cenerentola offers a different version of the Cinderella story, with ingenuity taking the place of magic. The production brings together seven soloists, more than 30 performers in supporting roles, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Fuerteventura and the Coro Bel Canto.
The soloists are Paola Leguizamón, Víctor Morán, Juan Carlos Esteve, Carla Ortega, Alicia Sánchez, Alfonso Baruque and Christopher Gagliardo. Tulio Gagliardo will direct the orchestra, while Pipe García will direct the choir.
The Asociación Contra el Cáncer de Mama Metastásico de Fuerteventura is also taking part in this year’s festival. Ópera Fuerteventura says the collaboration is intended to give visibility to the work of island associations and strengthen the connection between culture, music and social commitment.
