An Italian Girl in Algiers: Gioacchino Rossini
About the Event
Be entertained by Rossini at his most fanciful. A madcap wind from the Orient blows throughout this delicious score.
Composed in a mere 27 days, L'Italiana finds the young Rossini at his comic best. Sparkling humour and musical fireworks illuminate the tale of the feisty Isabella, who turns the tables on the foolish Bey Mustafà, rescuing her beloved Lindoro and ensuring a happy ending for all.
Sung in Italian, with French surtitles
