While The Count Ory is considered a comic opera, Rossini’s writing stretches the boundaries of the opéra comique genre with its sung dialogue and musical forms considered inappropriately loquacious at its premiere. Transgressive Theatre-Opera’s new English translation, transported the story to a more contemporary time and a new location, turning the recitatives into sparkling dialogue, and adding a secondary love-couple, a format that would have excited Rossini’s first audience, and did the same for ours!
The Count Ory was played in the auditorium space of Ebenezer Lutheran Church, on March 22 and 23, 2019.
