Le comte Ory is a whirlwind blend of silly and sublime. The music and script are bursting with that 1820s pizzazz, while our modern-day sensibilities are nodding along to the tunes of sensuality, sexuality, and those pesky and entitled dudes. And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: an outrageous three-in-a-bed romp with over fourteen minutes of slow-burn musical sensuality.
Get ready for a rollercoaster of deception, intrigue, and a dash of playful flirtation, all wrapped up in some of the smoothest Rossini tunes you’ve ever heard.
