Paolo Carignani
Director:
Lluís Pasqual
Written in French in 1828 for the Paris Opéra, “Le Comte Ory” has maintained its success to this day. Re-using some of the music of his “Viaggio a Reims”, Rossini turns the disguise-based libretto into a spirited play of erotic lightness. Lluís Pasqual’s witty and clever production was recorded at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro. The dynamic, international young cast is headed by tenor Yijie Shi in the title role, Laura Polverelli as his astute page and María José Moreno as Countess Adèle. Paolo Carignani conducts with verve and brio.
