(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Gioachino Rossini's comic opera, L'occasione fa il ladro, which translated to English means 'Opportunity makes a thief!' will be staged at the Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) on October 27 and 28.
This delightfully funny, beautifully sung tale of identity theft and mixed-up romantic rivals reflects the vividly humorous music and engaging plots for which Rossini is famed, stated a press release.
Through a cleverly conceived web of amusing obstacles, cunning deceptions and serendipitous twists of fate, the audience is led on a journey through this enchanting opera to a very satisfying conclusion as those who are meant for each other eventually realise their hopes and dreams.
There could be no better choice than the Rossini Opera Festival to present this opera. The brilliant staging for this production was created by the masterful opera director, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle (1932-88), who was known for outstandingly beautiful aesthetics.
The big star is the Russian soprano, Olga Peretyatko who has won several awards in international competitions including Plácido Domingo's Operalia. She was the recipient of Italy's highly prestigious Premio Franco Abbiati della Critica Musicale Italiana. Olga Peretyatko is renowned for the suppleness and lush depth of her voice as well as the emotional range of her performances.
The leading man, a forgivable thief, is Russian tenor Maxim Mironov, considered one of today's greatest Rossini interpreters. Mironov appeared at the ROHM last season in Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri.
The ROHM will present this highly entertaining comic opera on October 27 (Friday) and October 28 (Saturday) at 7pm.
