Description

What’s that sound? Is it midnight already? Will Cinderella get home from the ball? Will Amelia get there at all? To find out, join us as Cinballera Goes to the Ball! Cinballera Entertainment, the resident theater company at the Mission Theater, is bringing a delightful double-feature to Fallbrook. First, we’ll present Amelia Goes to the Ball, a one-act comic opera in English. This was the first mature opera composed by Italian-American Gian-Carlo Menotti, and it’s just as witty now as in 1937. Then, be swept away by Cinders to Satin, Rebekah Brannan’s brand-new ballet adaptation of the world’s most beloved fairytale, Cinderella. This hour-long work is the company’s longest ballet to date and features a colorful cast of Cinballera regulars in a fresh, exciting new take on a classic story! Cinballera Entertainment is an independent fine arts production company, founded by Fallbrook residents and sisters Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan, now making its home at the Fallbrook Mission Theater for four shows a year! The name stands for its three areas of focus, Cinema, Ballet, and Opera, and it's pronounced "cheen-ball-era" to reflect opera's Italian background. Cinballera performances blend opera and ballet with inspiration from classic movies. All our productions are staged with the goal of artistic integrity and historical accuracy, staying as close to the original intentions of the creators as possible. Following the example of classic films from the Golden Era of Hollywood, Cinballera productions are staged with subtlety, taste, and decency, so viewers of all ages and backgrounds can come. Two shows only: Saturday, November 23 - 7 PM Sunday, November 24 - 3 PM Fallbrook, if you loved our first show in town, The Girl of the Golden West, don’t miss our next event, as Cinballera Goes to the Ball!
