About This Movie

Il Turco in Italia, performed at the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence in 2014, is a delightful romp through the sunlit world of opera buffa. The Turkish prince, with his agile bass, brings a unique charm to the coastal scenery of Naples.

The performances are engaging, the music lively, and there's this tangible atmosphere that makes it feel like you're right there in the audience, soaking in the joy of it all.
