"La Cenerentola" at the Metropolitan Opera

Is your little culture vulture ready for the opera? Then make plans for a Saturday matinee of La Cenerentola by Gioachino Rossini: Cenerentola is Italian for Cinderella, and this familiar story is set in a palazzo in the seaside town of Salerno. Remember, this opera predates the Disney classic—it's a sweeping spectacle that could turn your kid into a lifelong music lover. Ages 6 and up.
