L’Italiana in Algeri is Rossini at his very best: a madcap comedy, first performed in Venice in 1813 when Rossini was just 21!
Tune in to a production from the Teatro Rossini, Pesaro recorded earlier this month as part of the Rossini Opera Festival.
Revel in the bravura singing, fast-paced arias and ensembles, and the picturesque, story-book setting of Rossini’s desert adventure.
José Ramon Encinar conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Comunale Bologna staring Anna Goryachova (mezzo-soprano) and Mario Cassi (baritone).
