This Book Club will focus on the 1698 Charles Perrault version of Cinderella - as well other Perrault tales that inspired musical adaptations such as Sleeping Beauty (ballet by Tchaikovsky), Puss in Boots (opera by César Cui), Bluebeard (opera by Bartok), and other versions of Cinderella such as the opera by Rossini and the ballet by Prokofiev. 

​

Additional lectures given by Dr. Barker will precede each performance of Cinderella by one hour. These "Curtain Talks" will take place on Friday, January 17 at 6:30pm and Sunday, January 19 at 1pm at the Paramount Theatre.
