Rossini’s opera buffa *The Turk in Italy* makes its debut at the New National Theatre. The story is a comedy in which a playboy Turkish prince, his coquettish wife, her hapless husband, and the prince’s former lover are entangled in a complex web of relationships. Directed by Laurent Perry, the production is based on the concept of a “photo novel” (a melodramatic romance novel), and its meta-theatrical structure creates a dynamic, vibrant atmosphere. The production features Alessandro Bonato, a rising star from Italy, as conductor, alongside a stellar cast of accomplished artists including Claudia Muschio, Alejandro Barinas Vieites, and Paolo Bordogna. With a stylish production featuring a succession of duets and ensembles harmonizing with superb vocals, this is a performance that delights both the eyes and the ears. The brilliant structure, in which a poet serves as the narrator, heightens the drama and captivates the audience. Please look forward to this new production, where you can fully immerse yourself in the magnificent world of Rossini.
