Le Comte Ory

This production of Le Comte Ory presents the classic work in a hotel setting, where guests engage in a soirée inspired by the legend of Count Ory. The costumes are notably rudimentary, adding a layer of humor to the performance. One highlight includes the director's creative choice to have male characters disguised as nuns in Act 2, wearing nuns’ habits over old-fashioned underwear, which they humorously reveal throughout the act.

The top cast features Yijie Shi, Lorenzo Regazzo, Roberto De Candia, and María José Moreno, bringing their talents to this lively interpretation of Rossini's work. Collectors of opera performances may find this unique staging an interesting addition to their physical media collection, showcasing a distinct vision of the classic opera.
