The 2026 Opera and Ballet Season features Gioachino Rossini’s L’italiana in Algeri on the programme, returning to the stage in Brescia after fourteen years with a contemporary setting that will not aim for realism but rather for an unstable backdrop against which the action – as is well known – is set: the abduction of a Milanese lady by pirates, her subsequent transfer to an Algerian harem and, finally, her return home.
