L’Italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algiers, 2013, 153 min) is the first opera of this special screening series dedicated to Gioachino Rossini thanks to a special collaboration between the IIC and the Rossini Opera Festival (ROF) in Pesaro, Italy. This exuberant Swinging 60s-based production shows Italian director Davide Livermore alive to all the comic possibilities.
Soprano Elisabetta Russo, baritone Roberto Perlas Gomez and pianist Vladimir Khomyakov will offer an inspiring live performance to kick off the series.
