Italian Culture in Algiers: October 5–28

“The Italian Girl in Algiers” is the opera for anyone who longs for fast-paced comedy and a celebration of song.

The Norrlands Opera is staging Rossini’s classic opera in an absurd interpretation featuring a top-notch international cast. The leading roles are sung by mezzo-soprano Sidsel Eriksen from Denmark, tenor Vassilis Kavayas from Greece, and bass Markus Schwartz from Sweden. The director is Natalie Ringler, who most recently directed *The Emperor’s New Clothes* at Norrlandsoperan. German conductor Nikolas Nägele leads the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra.
