Shows
Last updated date : 20/08/2024
Six characters looking for love and recognition are breathlessly swept up into the fanciful adventures deployed in one of Rossini’s greatest pieces, Il Turco in Italia. Laurent Pelly directed this hilarious show performed by dazzling artists.
Tired of her homebody of a husband (“There is no greater madness than to love one alone”), Fiorilla is eager to turn this maxim into a reality and sets off an endless line of uncontrollable misunderstandings and encounters, turning everyone insane in the process.
In this high-voltage opera buffa, written after L'italiana in Algeri and before The Barber of Seville, Rossini deployed frantic ensembles of eloquence and panache. As per his Barbe-bleue last season, Laurent Pelly is an expert of humorous, scathing comedies. He was the ideal person to direct a show set in a universe inspired by photo-stories featuring an international, high-quality cast: soprano Sara Blanch, bass Adrian Sâmpetrean and baritones Florian Sempey and Renato Girolami.
