In partnership with the University’s Coccia Institute for the Italian Experience in America, the Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Opera Workshop and Symphony join forces to offer a fully-staged production of Rossini’s beloved operatic romp. La Scala di Seta portrays the confusion that results when a girl and her lover try unsuccessfully to conceal their secret marriage from the young lady’s guardian. A masterpiece of comic timing, complete with characters hidden in closets who misunderstand what they overhear to hilarious effect, the opera will be sung in Italian with English supertitles.
