Summary
Comic opera in two acts. A filmed performance of Rossini's La Cenerentola, a witty and vivacious adaptation of the Cinderella story. The story is the familiar fairy tale but with the fairy element left out. In place of the fairy godmother is Alidoro, a philosophic person and friend of the Prince. The glass slipper is replaced in the opera with a pair of bracelets. One of these bracelets is given to the Prince at the Ball and recognition of the other leads to the customary happy ending.
