Cinderella's Royal Feast is a part of my work as composer-in-residence at Savannah Voice Festival, which also included ALICE RYLEY, ANNA HUNTER, BIRTHDAY CLOWN, and DARLING CHUM O'MINE. We started with a working group at Garrison Magnet School for the Arts in Savannah. The group of students noticed how different Rossini's rather realistic tale differs from the American Cinderella, with its fantasy/Disney spin. FEAST attempts, without violating copyright mind you, to put the fantasy back into the story, while keeping with Rossini's florid vocal style.
