The Teatro dell’Opera di Roma is set to present Rossini’s “L’Italiana in Algeri” from June 5 through 12, 2025.
The opera will be presented at the Teatro Costanzi for the first time in 20 years in Emanuele Luzzati’s production.
In a statement, director Maurizio Scaparro said, “It is evident that in an unlikely ‘Algeri,’ Rossini had fun at the expense of a little-known world, an object of easy and somewhat crude mockery, the goal of many comic operas. It seems to me that he wanted to have fun with the ‘Turks’ and the ‘Italians’ in equal measure, to the point of building with Isabella and Taddeo a couple of extraordinary and lively fun. To ‘Mammaliturchi’ Rossini seems to add with a smile also ‘Mamma gli italiani’, and this also allows us to read L’italiana in Algeri with detachment and inevitably up-to-date fun.”
Sesto Quatrini conducts a cast that includes Chiara Amarù, Laura Verrecchia, Paolo Bordogna, Adolfo Corrado, Dave Monaco, Giorgio Misseri, Misha Kiria, and Vincenzo Taormina.
The cast will be rounded out by talents from the ‘Fabbrica’ Young Artist Program of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, including Jessica Ricci, Maria Elena Pepi, and Alejo Alvarez Castillo.
