“A wonderful, turbulent comedy about a girl willing to marry, but whose guardian causes problems, rivalties, financial debts, false identities and more. The directing duo – André Barbe and Renaud Doucet – made their debut with this production in Pesaro. They brought Rossini’s wit in music and plot to the point in a very entertaining manner.” This is how the Deutschlandfunk describes Rossini’s Il signor Bruschino at the Rossini Festival in Pesaro. Jack Swanson’s and Marina Monzó’s beautiful voices are particularly inspiring with technique and elegance in the colourful, pittoresque and lovingly designed set.
