Approved

L'Italiana in Algeri

Its not often I can say I have had a good laugh at the opera, but this week I laughed long and loud at the hilariously funny and fantastically performed The Italian Girl in Algiers by Gioachino Rossini at that wonderful gem the Erin Arts Centre during the 34th Mananan Opera Festival.

The action in this funny romp of an opera takes place in Algiers, in and around the palace of the Bey, a grandiose and pompous leader who’s grown bored with his current wife, Elvira, and wants to replace her with a tempestuous Italian girl.

He doesn’t know who she’ll be, but he seems to have this image in his head of a fiery young thing he’ll be able to tame, moulding her with his great prowess to his image of what he really deserves as a wife.
