The Turk in Italy by Rossini, Dv. 29 Oct. 2021, De (2021/2021), Dirigit per Alfonso Antoniozzi, Director musical Attilio Tomasello, Teatro Comunale, Sassari, Italy

Only for the second time is Gioachino Rossini's Il turkish in Italy represented in the city. The opera was staged at the Verdi Theater in 1983, almost two centuries after its premiere at the Scala in Milan: an amusing comedy of misunderstandings, as in the Rossini comic tradition, today perhaps the least known of the compositions of the Pesaro genius. It tells the story of a Turkish prince who arrives in Italy, meeting a young Italian woman - and her husband - with whom a series of comic episodes will be born before the happy ending that will fix things.
