This is a snippet from the performance of Alma's opera Cinderella in Casino Baumgarten, Vienna in December: Cinderella's sad ballad from Act I. When the stepmother has shown her true face, Cinderella realizes for the first time that she is completely alone in the world and that her stepmother and stepsisters really hate her. She sings a ballad about a lonely beggar girl who is deluded to think that there are people around who love her. When Cinderella later flees from the ball, she will sing the end of this aria to the prince. The prince is haunted by the melody, and especially by the painful harmony on the word 'Dunkel' ('darkness'). And this is how he will eventually find Cinderella in the end: not with a shoe, but through this melody.
