A filmed performance of Rossini's La Cenerentola, a witty and vivacious adaptation of the Cinderella story. The opera, written in 24 days, was first performed in Rome in 1817. The story is the familiar fairy tale but with the fairy element left out. In place of the fairy godmother, we have 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.

A live performance from La Scala in Milan, produced for television in 1978. Verdi's gripping opera, from Friedrich Schiller's play, set in mid-16th century Spain, deals with multiple tragedies of idealistic friendship, religious fanaticism and unrequited love. The drama focuses on the struggle between King Philip of Spain and his son and heir Don Carlos over the love of the Queen, who really loves Don Carlos, and on the harsh treatment meted out by Catholic Spain to its rebellious Protestant subjects in the Spanish Netherlands.
