Album Notes & Community Reviews

A sprawling, deeply theatrical recording of Roberto De Simone's legendary stage work, based on the Neapolitan fairy tale of Cinderella. The production wildly reinvigorates traditional Southern Italian folklore by blending operatic choral arrangements, passionate spoken-word passages, and an incredible array of acoustic folk instrumentation. It is celebrated as a monumental, highly satirical revival of authentic Neapolitan musical theater.
