Rossini�s vocally dazzling comedy stars bel canto sensation Juan Diego Fl�rez in the title role of this Met premiere production. He vies with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, in the trouser role of Isolier, for the love of the lonely Countess Ad�le, sung by soprano Diana Damrau. Bartlett Sher, director of the Met�s hit productions of The Barber of Seville and The Tales of Hoffmann, describes the world of the opera as, �a place where love is dangerous. People get hurt. That can be very funny and very painful. Rossini captures both�with the most beautiful love music Rossini ever wrote.�
