"The role of Isabella is sung to perfection by Cecilia Bartoli - a bright, independent woman with an adventurous attitude" (The New York Times). Bartoli's magnificent performance in Gioachino Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri at the Salzburg Festival, directed by BAFTA-winning director duo Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier, is a highlight of the Rossini celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the composer's death. Unitel has captured the Italian opera star's excellent performance in a rare audiovisual recording.

In this lively comedy, every look and every hand gesture brings Isabella to life: Bartoli presents the spirited Italian with fire, finesse and extraordinary acting skills - "a Rossini masterclass" (Bachtrack). Her Isabella is a strong, independent woman who has no intention of accepting the advances of the powerful Mustafà. In the Leiser/Caurier staging, which plays with prejudiced notions about opposing cultures, Mustafà is no longer an Ottoman bey, but a kind of local gangster smuggling electronics in the port of modern-day Algeria. In Christian Fenouillat's colorful sets, Ildar Abdrazakov sings the lascivious macho and looks for joy and "great comic talent" (Salzburger Nachrichten) after a love affair with the beautiful Italian. Edgardo Rocha's bright tenor scales the heights effortlessly, making his performance as Isabella's lover Lindoro fluid and highly emotional. Rebeca Olvera sings Elvira, who finally regains her husband's favours, with ease and beauty, while José Coca Lozas Haly impresses with his short aria in which he praises Italian women. With Alessandro Corbelli as the clumsy Taddeo, laughs are guaranteed. Conductor Jean-Christophe Spinosi, sensitive to the intricacies and sparkle of Rossini's score, leads the excellent ensemble Matheus in a "beguiling performance" (The New York Times).
