New National Theatre: Rossini’s Opera “The Turk in Italy” Unofficial
New Production
2026/10/04(su.) 14:00 Starting
Rossini’s charming opera buffa, *The Turk in Italy*, makes its debut as a new production at the New National Theatre. The story centers on the romantic intrigue between the heroine, Fiorilla—who has grown weary of her tedious married life—and Selim, a Turkish prince visiting Naples. A key feature of the production is its meta-theatrical structure, in which the poet Prosdocimo joins the fray, manipulating the characters and weaving the narrative into a comedy. Directed by Roland Perry, the production is based on the concept of a “photonovel” (a melodramatic novel using photographs), captivating the audience with stage design brimming with dynamic energy—as if leaping out of a two-dimensional world—and witty charm. The production brings together a stellar cast of internationally acclaimed artists, including Claudia Muschio and Alejandro Barinas Viejes. Under the baton of Alessandro Bonato, a rising star from Italy, and accompanied by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, this production delivers a superb performance where love and humor intertwine. Rossini fans won’t want to miss this opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of beautiful and joyful music.
