An 11-year-old British music prodigy received a standing ovation for her first full-length opera, after it premiered in Vienna, as she speaks of her hopes of taking the show around the world.

Alma Deutscher, a composer, pianist and violinist, began working on Cinderella three years ago, and performed it under the eye of conductor Zubin Mehta on Thursday night.

The show, which the Telegraph awarded four stars, received a warm response from its audience of 300, with Miss Deutscher now exploring plans to take it elsewhere.

“Of course I’m extremely proud,” she said . “If anyone had told me a few years ago that my opera would be put on in Vienna, I would have thought it was a joke.
