What does it take for true love? And how can we tell if someone is really serious?
In the second episode of StageVibes, we explore precisely these questions. It’s about little white lies and high expectations, and about the courage to believe in the good in people, even when trust is put to the test.
The focus is on Rossini’s *La Cenerentola*, which is far more than just the familiar Cinderella story. Amidst chaos and comedy, an opera of surprising depth unfolds – one that is fast-paced, incisive and astonishingly relevant to our present day. A work that asks what honesty, integrity and genuine feelings really mean.
The episode is complemented by fascinating interviews with singers, the podcast team and the creative minds behind the production, as well as exclusive insights into the story and music of Rossini’s opera.
