The Turk in Italy (Il Turco in Italia)Rossini's 1814 comic opera reversed the idea of The Italian in Algiers. Prosdocimo believes that adding a Turkish element into his new comedy would be advantageous and decides to engineer a complicated intrigue between Fiorilla, her worried husband Geroinio and the Turk Selim.
Music Rossini
Lyrics Felice Romani (after Caterino Mazzola's Il Turco in Italia)
