We are delighted to host a presentation of La donna del lago, which will be performed in July as part of this year’s Buxton International Festival (7 – 24 July).
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. Sung in Italian.
