The Italian Girl in Algiers

Approved

This playful drama in two acts on a libretto by Angelo Anelli had its first performance in Venice in 1813 and is said to have been set to music by Gioachino Rossini in just twenty-seven days. Here the great composer succeeded in infusing new vitality and renewing the clichés of farce and funny schemes, crystallized for too long in the Italian comic opera, treating them with enthralling virtuosity and comic realism.

The story takes place at the court of Mustafà, bey of Algiers, who, tired of his wife (Elvira), and the slaves of his harem, decides to try an Italian mistress. Thanks to the intervention of the corsairs, after a shipwreck, Isabella is captured, who had left Italy, together with her servant Taddeo, for Algiers to find her beloved Lindoro - who had become a slave to her Bey. It will be from the moment in which the Italian is brought to court that trouble will begin for Mustafà, who will end up mocked and mocked by the games of Isabella, who, on the other hand, will be able to rejoin Lindoro and bring him back to Italy.
