2h 50m
Il Turco in Italia (The Turk in Italy), an opera buffa in two acts, is one of Rossini's wittiest works. This renewed production staged at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro 2016 is a lively performance interpreted by an ideal ensemble cast featuring Erwin Schrott, making his Pesaro debut, and true Rossini stars such as Olga Peretyatko, Nicola Alaimo, René Barbera, and Pietro Spagnoli. With references to films by the iconic director Frederico Fellini, Davide Livermore brought it all together adding "the perfect physical comic schtick that matched perfectly with the musical pace of Rossini's masterpiece."
