14. Massenet's Cendrillon
Jules Massenet isn’t the only composer to have spotted the operatic potential in the fairy-tale of Cinderella – Rossini’s 'La Cenerentola' also tackles the original rags-to-riches story. This poster advertises the premiere of the opera, at the Opéra Comique, Paris, in 1899. Image: Getty
