About

Recorded at the prestigious Rossini Opera Festival in 2007, this opera by the great composer himself brings to life a rarely performed work, recorded for the first time in high definition.

This critical edition DVD means that the respect for the original version and the philological aspect of the opera are granted. In contrast, the stage is set in modern times and the whole story is presented as the dream of a young girl who plays the role of the magpie.

The title La Gazza Ladra is translated as ‘The Thieving Magpie’ which, as expected, is a story based around the theft of some silverwear which a magpie has absconded for its nest, a crime which a servant girl is wrongly accused of. La Gazza Ladra is an "opera semiseria", a genre from Rossini’s time which was used to define a drama with a happy ending in which the innocent victim, unjustly condemned, should be saved from the scaffold at the eleventh hour and the rascal persecutor punished.

The brilliant, rousing overture was made famous
worldwide thanks to the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick’s motion picture “A Clockwork Orange”.
