The oppressed innocent of the selfish voracious, in the same way that the prince of the tale quite has to behave like a generous hero who is not easy to cheat.
The only one more individualized figure is that which represents Magnificent Don, the Attrailiary Padrastro de Cinderella, here noble ruined and thief from the dowry of her stepdaughter, seconded by the couple of her daughters, them, the topical harps and cursis
He entrusts them the comedy that springs from persistence in ridicule and stupidity.

Renato Girolami (Gorgeous Don) is delivered to the buffet;
Dmitry Korchak (The Prince) is a discrete tenor, and Karine Deshayes (Cinderella), delicate artist in beautiful voice takes out little game to her protagonist, timid and pacata, encouraging at the end.
Rocío Pérez and Carol García fulfilled like stepsister, Florian Sempey vulgarizes the breeter waiter disguised as Prince, and Roberto Tagliavini, the philosopher, plays with Garbo to the fairy godmother.
The musical address of Riccardo Frizza is the best of the evening.
