MICHELE PERTUSI
Overtures and arias from the operas of Gioachino Rossini
FESTIVAL DI TORRECHIARA 2003
 A
date with Gioachino Rossini’s music has already become an agreeable
habit for Torrechiara Festival goers. The stars of this “Gala” – showcasing
overtures and arias from the best known Rossini operas: The Barber of
Seville, The Italian Girl in Algiers, The Thieving Magpie, William Tell
– are without doubt the most suited to this repertoire in which they
have enjoyed great critical and public success on the stages of the
world’s most renowned opera houses. The “Guardian Angel” of the evening
is Michele Pertusi, probably the
best bass for Rossini (but not exclusively) of our time who, once again,
is our very special guest of honour.

Annamaria Dell’Oste first studied singing at the “J. Tomadini” Conservatory
