Frederika von Stade, Claudio Abbado - Rossini: La Cenerentola: “Non più mesta” (Excerpt)

Watch Frederica von Stade sing the dazzling “Non più mesta” as Angelina (Cinderella) in Rossini’s 'La Cenerentola', with the Coro and Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala under Claudio Abbado. This performance is taken from Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s celebrated 1981 film of Rossini’s opera, with Abbado conducting the forces of La Scala. Watch the full opera on our streaming service STAGE+: https://www.stage-plus.com/video/vod_concert_APNM8GRFDPHMASJKBSQ3ICG Rossini's La Cenerentola is an operatic fairy tale with a remarkably modern edge: there are no fairy godmothers or supernatural transformations, and the magic that drives the story is the power of compassionate love. It was a perfect subject for the innovative French director Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, and this enchanting filmed version from 1981 combines the production values of Ponnelle's La Scala staging (the young Claudio Abbado strikes sparks in the pit) with the visual possibilities of a movie (it was filmed in Vienna). Ponnelle updates the action to Rossini's own era, and with Frederica von Stade in the title role, the results are as refreshing as they are delightful.
