The Italian Girl in Algiers (L’italiana in Algeri) was Rossini’s fifth opera (his first comic opera) written in in 1813 when he was 21 years old which took him just twenty-seven days to write. The plot is introduced with a lively overture. This famous overture, something of a tribute to Haydn’s Surprise Symphony, has light pizzicato passages contrasted by huge orchestral segments showing off Rossini’s flair for melodic invention.
The story of the opera revolves around the Bey of Algiers and his desire to add an Italian woman to his harem. The Italian girl, Isabella, is searching for her lost love, Lindoro, who has been kidnapped by the Bey of Algiers. In her search for Lindero she is shipwrecked in Algiers
and taken captive by Mustafa (the Bey) who falls in love with her. While herself being held captive, Isabella surprisingly finds Lindoro among the Bey’s prisoners. Isabella hatches a plot of escape that involves flirtation and stealth to outwit the Bey. At the end, she and Lindoro sail away together.
