L'italiana in Algeri by Gioachino Rossini

What's it about?

"L'italiana in Algeri" by Gioachino Rossini is a captivating opera buffa that impresses with musical brilliance and humorous entanglements. The plot unfolds around the Algerian Bey Mustafà, who is tired of his wife Elvira and wants to marry her to Lindoro. But the clever Italian Isabella thwarts his plans, turns his head, and subtly takes command. Rossini's work, a highlight of Bel canto, combines virtuosic arias with a tongue-in-cheek comedy about power, seduction, and the shrewdness of women.In Alexandra Liedtke's production, the turbulent story is set in the colorful world of the circus, where acrobatics and comedy meet. The musical direction is by Carlo Benedetto Cimento, who conducts the Mozarteumorchester Salzburg. Further information can be found on the official event page.
