Cendrillon

Description

Libretto of the 1759 pastiche-style comic opera "Cendrillon," by Louis Anseaume.

"Cendrillon" (Cinderella in English) premiered in Paris at Foire St-Germain on February 21, 1759. The opera underwent two revisions before the definitive version of 1764. Anseaume adapted the plot the fairy tale by Charles Perrault. This copy includes (from pp.54-63) notated melodies of airs and recitatives.
