Rossini’s Il turco in Italia is a witty, self-aware comedy fueled by curiosity, attraction, and cultural collision. When a Turkish traveler and a free-spirited Italian woman meet, their mutual fascination ignites a whirlwind of romantic confusion, comic chaos, and sharp social satire. Sparkling with effervescent ensembles and impeccable comedic timing, the opera offers a playful yet pointed look at love, identity, and the challenge of being true to oneself.

Peter Kozma directs the production and conducts the Opera Neo Orchestra.

Isabella Abbrescia will be performing in the ensemble
