March 12 & 19, 7:30 pm; March 13 & 20, 2pm
Gioachino Rossini was a master at writing opera that combined elements of both comic and tragic stories. This madcap, farcical opera, in a style resembling Laurel and Hardy skits, also has a serious undertone which pokes fun at authority figures, inept lovers, and unfaithful husbands, while making the heroine, Isabella, the clear winner in a battle of the sexes. All of this is set off by Rossini's brilliant music which is marked by slowly building crescendos with incredible energy that you will be humming for days, combined with poignant passages of truly masterful music.
Lecture one hour before each performance.
