The Italian Girl in Algiers

Approved

We take up one of the great successes directed by Jean-Christophe Spinosi “The Italian in Algiers” by Rossini, his first true opera buffa, composed in Venice and which won a triumph at the Venetian premiere and then throughout Europe. Rossini even said: “I thought the Venetians would think I was crazy after hearing my opera. It now appears that they are even crazier than me”. The Italian quickly became so popular that music boxes were soon being made playing the cavatina “Languir per una bella”. The libretto taken from the legend of Roxane and Suleiman the Magnificent is eminently modern and makes women triumph over the stupidity and vanity of men. Three suitors are bewitched by the beautiful Italian Isabella: the bass Mustafà, bey of Algiers, the baritone Taddeo, jealous who must quickly settle for the role of the uncle, and the young tenor Lindoro, who will finally be the lucky one. The music is always captivating: especially the opening with its pianissimo start, its irresistible sforzati, crescendi and accelerandi or Isabella's famous aria “Cruda sorte!” in act 1. We have brought back in this Italian the irresistible interpreters who are Philippe Talbot, Luigi De Donato, Riccardo Novaro and we welcome three formidable young talents: the Russian mezzo-soprano Svetlina Stoyanova in the title role, the Cypriot soprano Theodora Raftis and the Bolivian bass José Coca Loza, all winners of major international competitions. in particular the opening with its pianissimo beginning, its sforzati, its irresistible crescendi and accelerandi or Isabella's famous aria “Cruda sorte!” in act 1.
