Le Comte Ory

Rossini borrowed freely from two of his earlier works to compose Le Comte Ory, and so the story and the musical styles are something of a potpourri. This production is similar: it tells this farcical piece as a play -within - a - play. Leaving aside the challenges in Rossini's remnants of a storyline, Juan Diego Florez and Joyce diDonato, last seen in The Barber of Seville, manage to save this with some spectacular bel-canto coloratura singing.
