Our 2011 production, The Italian Girl in Algiers, combines fast-paced comic energy with elegant melodies that are delightfully orchestrated. Because Rossini created such incredibly demanding roles for his leading lady and her coterie of admirers, audiences rarely get a chance to experience this opera live.
