Rossini’s celebrated comic opera will make its anticipated debut at the New National Theatre Opera Palace in Tokyo this October. Laurent Pelly will direct Rossini while Alessandro Bonato will conduct Rossini; the co-production with Teatro Real and Opéra de Lyon will bring a metatheatrical flair to Rossini on stage. By securing New National Theatre Opera Palace Turk 2026 tickets international visitors will get to experience Rossini, an Italian opera buffa performed by a world-class cast, in the heart of Japan.
A Comic Story of Love and Intrigue
First premiered after the success of The Girl in Algiers The Italian Turk is a bright and lively comedy focused on love triangles, mistaken identities and romantic complications. The story centers on the playboy Turkish prince Selim, the heroine Fiorilla, her proper husband Geronio and Selims old lover Zaida. Their messy romantic situations happen through a set of duets, trios and quartets. In the middle of the story is the poet Prosdócimo, who wants to turn the real-life drama, around him into a play working as both narrator and director.
Laurent Pellys creative staging brings this idea to life by using the idea of the “photonovel”—a type of romantic story told with pictures and words in bubbles. In Pellys way of looking at it the opera turns into a look at Fiorillas spirited imagination as she gets lost in romance magazines. The characters move easily between graphic dreams and real life making for a visual treat along, with Rossinis clear and lively music.

The production has a group of famous performers from around the world and from Japan. A singer named Claudia Muschio who is known for her voice plays the part of Fiorilla.

Why booking through Jasumo Tickets helps
