    <p>Teatro Nuovo presents Bel Canto classics and rarities with a period-instrument orchestra and a performing style the Wall Street Journal calls “transformative.” </p> <p>Rossini’s <em>Il Turco in Italia</em> is a madcap comedy with a touch of the surreal. A poet needs a story, fast, for the opera he must write, and manipulates a colorful cast of characters to make it happen: a flirtatious heroine who has a husband, a lover-boy, and a visiting Turkish Bey all wrapped around her little finger (until she doesn’t). Teatro Nuovo favorites Vincent Graña and Mattia Venni return, joined by debut artists Kresley Figueroa and Max Alexander Cook; Elisa Citterio and Derrick Goff lead the band on violin and cembalo. </p> <p>For more details, visit TeatroNuovo.org </p> <p><strong>Pre-opera Serenade at 6:00pm: The Great Garcías (II)</strong>: The adventure of bringing opera to the New World was bold and sometimes dangerous (think bandits in a remote Mexican mountain pass). Teatro Nuovo’s Resident Artists tell the story in music, letters, memoirs, and reviews. </p> <p><strong>Pre-opera Lecture at 6:30pm</strong>: Will Crutchfield introduces <em>Il Turco in Italia</em> </p> <p>PHOTO CREDIT </p> <p>Vincent Graña and Mattia Venni in <em>Crispino e la Comare</em> (Steven Pisano) </p> <p>Graphic from the handwriting of Gioachino Rossini</p> <p>Note on seating: The front row of Orchestra seating is Row D, as the rows before that are removed for this performance.</p>
