Mustafa had commissioned him to get him a beautiful Italian woman.

Why does an Italian woman make her way to Algiers? She is looking for her lover, who has fallen into slavery. However, her Lindoro is not doing badly there, because he is high in the favor of his master Mustafa. But the longing for his Isabella torments him very much. And then, all of a sudden, she stands in the palace – as the prey of the corsair Haly, who picked up the one stranded on the coast. Mustafa had instructed him to get him a beautiful Italian woman. These women are said to be more temperamental than the oriental ladies – including Mustafa's whiny main wife Elvira, who has long been annoying to him. However, it is precisely the said temperament of the Italian woman that is Mustafa's undoing. Because Isabella wraps the smug ruler with her seduction skills around her finger in such a way that he falls for her refined intrigue games and the situation develops quite differently than Mustafa hoped ...

L'italiana in Algeri was Rossini's first great success and, after Il barbiere di Siviglia, is one of the composer's most popular comic operas. The humorous and ironic scenes are designed with virtuoso bravura, lovingly and vividly characterizing the characters. This opera, which at times seems like an "organized and complete craziness" (Stendhal), is directed by Anette Leistenschneider. At the Tiroler Landestheater she has already proven in her productions of Il barbiere di Siviglia and Martha that musical comedy is exactly her genre.

The beautiful Italian woman who came
to Algiers teaches the jealous and haughty lovers that
a woman can fool them all.

English

Warum macht sich eine Italienerin auf den Weg nach Algier? Sie ist auf der Suche nach ihrem Geliebten, der in die Sklaverei geraten ist. Schlecht geht es ihrem Lindoro dort allerdings nicht, denn er steht hoch in der Gunst seines Herrn Mustafa. Doch die Sehnsucht nach seiner Isabella quält ihn sehr. Und dann steht sie auf einmal im Palast – als Beute des Korsaren Haly, der die an der Küste Gestrandete aufgriff. Mustafa hatte ihn beauftragt, ihm eine schöne Italienerin zu besorgen. Diese Frauen sollen nämlich temperamentvoller sein als die orientalischen Damen – darunter Mustafas weinerliche Hauptfrau Elvira, die ihm schon lange lästig ist. Gerade das besagte Temperament der Italienerin wird Mustafa jedoch zum Verhängnis. Denn Isabella wickelt den selbstgefälligen Herrscher mit ihren Verführungskünsten so um den Finger, dass er auf ihre raffinierten Intrigenspiele hereinfällt und sich die Situation ganz anders entwickelt, als von Mustafa erhofft …

L’italiana in Algeri war der erste große Erfolg Rossinis und zählt nach Il barbiere di Siviglia zu den beliebtesten Komischen Opern des Komponisten. Mit virtuoser Bravour sind die humorvollen und ironischen Szenen gestaltet, liebevoll und lebendig die Figuren charakterisiert. Regie in dieser Oper, die phasenweise wie eine „organisierte und vollständige Verrücktheit“ (Stendhal) wirkt, führt Anette Leistenschneider. Am Tiroler Landestheater hat sie bereits in ihren Inszenierungen von Il barbiere di Siviglia und Martha bewiesen, dass die musikalische Komödie genau ihr Genre ist.
