Stage Director: Chuck Hudson Conductor: Laurent Pillot
Manhattan School of Music Opera Theater 2006
Yoosun Park as Cendrillon
"Massenet has always gone down easy...or at least it did...at the second performance of the Manhattan School of Music Opera Theater's perfectly enjoyable production...Chuck Hudson, the director, stuck clearly to his story without too much embellishment...there was much to enjoy in this youthful evening. " --Anne Midgette, New York Times
"The Manhattan School has turned out many fine singers of
late, and the current crop
is in good hands for this show: those of the increasingly prominent French
conductor Laurent Pillot
and the experienced, creative director Chuck Hudson."
--David Shengold, Time Out NY
"For its spring production, the Manhattan School of Music Opera Theater presented a properly enchanting account of Cendrillon (Cinderella)...its score of crystalline elegance led with a suitably light touch by Laurent Pillot, its action imaginatively guided by Chuck Hudson." --Bruce Michael-Gelbert, Opera Magazine (UK), Theatre Scene.net
