 Gioachino Rossini: "La Centerentola"
Rossini's La Cenerentola (Cinderella) is a delightful and humorous opera, the music of which can easily be destroyed without vocalists of exceptional talent and technical facility.
If Rossini is the genius of Italian comedic opera, Bartoli earns a similar title as one of the most natural, and brilliant voices ever to perform his works.

 La Cenerentola - Gioachino Rossini
Jacopo Ferretti, Rossini's librettist for La Cenerentola (premiered in 1817), based his version on an earlier and long forgotten French opera from several years earlier (not to be confused with Massenet's Cendrillon of 1899).
She is relegated to the position of disdained scullery maid while Don Magnifico fritters away her inheritance on finery for the vain sisters.
Rossini and Ferretti turn it into satire, making Don Magnifico and the sisters into deliciously comic figures, while, at the same time retaining the romance and idealism suitable for a fable--the kind, forgiving Cinderella triumphs with grace and charm, not to speak of coloratura melodies to make a songbird envious.

In Il barbiere di Siviglia, produced in the beginning of the next year in Rome, the libretto, a version of Beaumarchais' Barbier de Seville by Sterbini, was the same as that already used by Giovanni Paisiello in his own Barbiere, an opera which had enjoyed European popularity for more than a quarter of a century.
In 1824 he became musical director of the Théatre Italien in Paris at a salary of £800 per annum, and when the agreement came to an end he was rewarded with the offices of chief composer to the king and inspector-general of singing in France, to which was attached the same income.
