Resourceful Italian woman outwits the Bey of Algiers once again
Gioachino Rossini’s hilarious comic opera L'italiana in Algeri returns to the stage of the Hungarian State Opera between 23 and 31 May 2026 after a hiatus of three years. Máté Szabó’s 2017 production revives Isabella’s story with new cast members and popular returning performers. Although abducted, Isabella is far from needing rescue. Instead, she is the one who sets the men straight.
