7 – 24 July 2022
One of the UK’s leading arts festivals, Buxton International Festival is a summer celebration of the very best opera, music and literature at the heart of the beautiful Peak District. Within the festival, the Italian Cultural Institute in London is proud to support the production of La donna del lago by Gioacchino Rossini, a Buxton International Festival Production, with the Northern Chamber Orchestra.
On 16 June, we hosted a presentation of the Opera here at the Institute, and the performances will start on Friday 8 July; you can book your tickets HERE.
Set in the 16th century Scottish Highlands, La donna del lago is an opera of love, loyalty and lochs with expansive ensembles and sparkling orchestration. It is one of the most lyrical of Gioachino Rossini’s operas and will be conducted by the Festival’s Artistic Director, Adrian Kelly, and directed by internationally renowned Jacopo Spirei. Jacopo has directed several of Rossini’s lesser-known operas, including most recently Ermione at Naples’ Teatro San Carlo. The Opera will be sung in Italian with English side-titles.
