Le comte Ory -  (Count Ory)

Pesaro

Italy

Discover the fabulous new production of Rossini’s Count Ory by Hugo de Ana, opening the 2022 edition of the Rossini Opera Festival, live from the Vitrifrigo Arena in Pesaro, Italy, with maestro Diego Matheuz leading the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI and incredible tenor Juan Diego Flórez in the title role!

Count Ory is Rossini’s first original opera in French, based on a libretto by Scribe and Delestre-Poirson and inspired by an old Picardy ballad about a certain Count Ory, who disguised himself as a nun in order to break into convents and infringe on the sisters' hospitality. Rossini and his team transport the action from a convent to a castle and from nuns to faithful wives of crusaders. While Rossini reuses some musical numbers from his earlier works, the result is a unique and coherent opus with its own individual atmosphere, which is neither a comic French opera with spoken dialogue, nor an Italian comic opera with non-accompanied recitatives.

Vitrifrigo Arena

The Rossini Festival in Pesaro - the "Bayreuth Rossinis" - presented the comic opera "Le Comte Ory" in 2022 with Juan Diego Flórez as the lovestruck count.
