Cinderella (German Libretto)

Musically the piece is a bright sequence of littlesongs, choruses, dialogue scenes and dances, probably best suited to children between the ages of eight and twelve, though the parts of the ugly sisters can usefully be taken by boys with broken voices.

The music is scored foran orchestra of recorders, trumpet, percussion, strings and keyboard, and ranges through a variety of styles. The opera has eleven solo parts and a chorus who act as a train, ball guests and the magic kittens. It is alsosuitable for performance by children aged eight and upwards.
