ROSSINI: Turco in Italia (Il) (The Turk in Italy)
Rossini’s brilliant satirical opera, Il Turco in Italia, is as notable for its considerable use of ensemble set pieces as for its many memorable tunes. The plot revolves around the tangled romance of the Turkish nobleman, Selim, on a visit to Naples to experience Italian life at first hand, and of his former mistress, Zaida, with whom he is finally reunited. Among the many highlights is the masterful duet of Geronio and Selim, in which the Turk tries to persuade the ageing husband to sell him his wife, the capricious Fiorilla.
