Line 20:
=== ''La Cenerentola'' provides examples of the following tropes: ===
* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Family]]: Don Magnifico, Tisbe and Clorinda.
* [[Actually, I Am Him]]: Cenerentola tries to speak up when Alidoro brings up Don Magnifico's third daughter, but Don Magnifico interrupts her, covers her mouth and threatens her.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Don Magnifico can be played as a fool with an exaggerated sense of his own importance and a temper or as a proud, cold man.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: fake prince Ramiro's solution: since he can't marry both Tisbe and Clorinda, he'll pick one of them and the other will marry his faithful valet Dandini. Doubles as [[Secret Test of Character]] since the valet is actually the ''real'' prince in disguise and both sisters angrily refuse him.
Line 32:
* [[Foreshadowing]]: the first song Cenerentola sings is a fairy tale about a king looking to marry and picking goodness over beauty and riches.
* [[Happily Ever After]]
* [["I Am" Song]]: played with. ''Come un'ape nei giorni d'aprile'' does sound like a perfectly straight example, except it's sung by Dandini pretending to be the prince: he's esentially presenting his persona.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Prince Ramiro. In Act I, Cenerentola tries to explain her difficult family situation, with "a father who isn't a father" and her two half-sisters. Aliodoro later appears and asks about Don Magnifico's third daughter. In Act II, Ramiro is surprised by Tisbe and Clorinda's terrible attitudes because Aliodoro told him to look for his bride in Don Magnifico's house. He witnessed all that and still utterly fails to put two and two together.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: when Tisbe and Clorinda try to flirt with the ''real'' prince Ramiro, he throws back at them all the names they called him when they thought him a mere valet
Line 41:
* [[Marry for Love]]: Prince Ramiro wants this.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Cenerentola's real name is Angelina. Overlaps with [[All There in the Manual]] since it's never mentioned.
* [[Paper
* [[Secret Test of Character]]: several throughout the opera. Cenerentola passes one when she sneaks food to the disguised Alidoro, while Clorinda and Tisbe fail theirs.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: so nicely her own family doesn't recognize her
* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry]]: Ramiro ''hates'' the way Don Magnifico mistreats Cenerentola, but he can't act on it as he's disguised as a servant.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Daughter Girl]]: all Cenerentola wants is to be acknowledged by her step-father and half-sisters.
