This course will present performances of Gioacchino Rossini’s 5 wonderful early one-act operas–L’Occasione fa il Ladro; La Scala di Seta; La Cambiale di Matrimonio; L’Inganno Felice; and Il Signor Bruschino. These masterpieces in miniature will delight you with their humor and spectacular singing. The performances feature some of the most glorious Rossini singers in productions that fully bring out Rossini’s effervescence and charm.
