Matinée Rêve d'Enfants...

Once again, I was invited to the special gala the AROP (Association pour le Rayonnement de l'Opera National de Paris), together with other patrons, offer to more than 600 kids, with no families or money, so that they can enjoy a performance of Opera.
This year it was "Cendrillon" (Cinderella), with music by Serge Prokofiev and choreography by Rudolf Nureyev. The choreography was, in fact, extremely original, presenting a modern-day Cinderella, who dreams of succeeding in Hollywood and who finds her prince charming in a movie director...
Wonderful set design and costume. Agnès Letestu, étoile de l'Opera, was really fantastic as Cinderella.
As usual, it was a pleasure to see the joy and hope in the eyes of the young people, specially three weeks from Christmas...
