Every night beautiful Giulia lowers a silk ladder from her window for her lover to climb to her bedroom. A series of misunderstandings turns their little love nest into a circus of relatives, suitors, and servants plotting, eavesdropping, and ultimately happily reconciling, in a blast of Rossini’s glorious vocal acrobatics.

Santa Barbara native, Soprano Jana McIntyre, last seen in OSB’s Semele returns to the Lobero stage to sing the leading lady, Giulia. Her secretly betrothed, Dorvil, is portrayed by tenor Christian Sanders (Il Tabarro ’21) who comes to see her using a silk ladder each night. Dormont, Giulia’s teacher and guardian, will be sung by Benjamin Brecher last seen at OSB this summer as Gastone in La Traviata. Baritone Efrain Solís (Don Pasquale, ’21) returns to sing the role of Germano, and current Chrisman Studio Artists, Christina Pezzarossi and Matt Peterson, round out our stellar cast as Lucilla and Blansac.

Trusted comedic master Josh Shaw (Don Pasquale, ’21; The Barber of Seville, ’18) returns to direct. Conducting and leading the OSB orchestra will be Alexis Enyart, who inspired audiences with As One earlier this year.
