Artistic Director Victor DeRenzi will interview the singers and artistic staff responsible for bringing our new production of Rossini’s “The Italian Girl in Algiers” to the Sarasota Opera stage.

Lindoro’s attempts to escape Mustafa, the Bey of Algiers, have all been in vain. He is now faced with a hand-me-down bride instead of his beloved Isabella who has gone missing. A unique turn of events brings Isabella right where she needs to be to save her lost fiance and the day!
