La Cenerentola, an opera (1817) in two acts, was composed by Rossini with a libretto by Ferretti, based on the fairy tale Cendrillon (Cinderella) by Charles Perrault (1697). Oliver Messel's production was first performed by the Glyndebourne Festival Society at Glyndebourne on 18 June 1952; directed by Carl Ebert and featuring Oncina as Donramiro and Bruscantini as Dandini. It was revived in 1953 (Edinburgh Festival), 1954 (Berlin), 1956 (Liverpool), 1959 and 1960 (Glyndebourne).
