In this colorful and exuberant production by Damiano Michieletto, the comical farce becomes an Almodóvaresque spectacle that "transforms all the singers into extraordinary actors" (La Stampa). Rossini's one-act opera weaves a burlesque tale of secret husbands and would-be lovers where general hilarity ensues before all ends happily. The production of La Scala di Seta (The Silken Ladder) from the Rossini Opera Festival Pesaro dives head first into the romantic chaos with Olga Peretyatko as the cunning young wife Giulia. comical genius José Manuel Zapata as her secret husband Dorvil, Anna Malavasi as Giulia's cousin in love with Blansac and Carlo Lepore as Blansac, the hapless suitor.
