PSU Opera to perform retelling of classic fairytale  

Pittsburg State Opera Theatre will perform Pauline Viardot’s “Cinderella”  at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 4 at the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts.

Viardot’s Cendrillon is a retelling of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale, composed in an operetta style combining musical numbers and dialogues. Instead of a stepmother, this story has the foolish Baron de Pictordu, with his two vain daughters, Maguelone and Armelinde, that are both after the Prince.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students 17 and under, and $5 for seniors. PSU students, staff, and faculty are free with a PSU ID.

The Opera Theatre is directed by Instructional Professor of Music Patrick Howle.
