Lirica Arts Singapore is set to present Rossini’s “L’Inganno Felice” starting on March 5, 2022 at the NAFA Lee Foundation Theatre.

The Rossini work, which will also be presented on March 6, is set to star Joyce Lee as Isabella, Jonathan Charles Tay as Bertrando, Martin Ng as Batone (Ng is also the Executive Producer on the project), David Tao as Tarabotto, and William Lim as Ormondo. Tang XinXin will direct with Lien Boon Hua conducting the Wayfarer Sinfonietta, a chamber ensemble founded in 2021.

Dorothy Png is the Production Designer while Theresa Chan is Costume Designer. Ng Siew Eng will take on the role of Project Consultant and Tay Huey Meng will be the Production Director.

This series of performances represent the Singapore premiere of the work and the opera society’s second public performance following its presentation of “No Tenors Allowed” back in September 2021. This is also the second opera by Rossini to be fully staged in Singapore following the 1992 and 2007 performances of “Il Barbiere di Siviglia” by the Singapore Lyric Opera.
