Glyndebourne Festival - Massenet - Cendrillon - Madame de la Haltière
The best performances come from Zwierko and Wettergreen. Zwierko, gloriously over-the-top, steals each scene in which she appears.

Alongside this beauty and pain is exaggerated comedy. The husky Agnes Zwierko dominates the stage as the peroxide and leopard-print Madame de la Haltière, her Botox-loving, binge-shopping daughters, Noémie (Eduarda Melo) and Dorothée (Kezia Bienek), trotting in her wake.
