Although Rossini wrote it at the age of only twenty-one, he created a brilliant work full of wit, set in the exotic environment of Algeria, where Mustafa, in his harem, longs for the beautiful Italian Isabelle because his wife Elvira has bored him. However, Isabella is the fiancée of Mustafa's captured slave Lindor, with whom he wants to escape from Mustafa's harem. Isabella convinces Mustafa to join the "cuckold" order before the wedding, which is the highest honor for men in Italy. During the rich feast, after this ceremony, the couple manages to get on the ship and head to the Italian shores, leaving Mustafa to his wife Elvira. We will present the opera in the Italian original with Czech and German subtitles. First performance in front of the audience on June 5, 2021
