Even if only a Howard Hawks or a Preston Sturges or a Billy Wilder would be able to properly convey the slapstick genius of that masterpiece that is Il Signor Bruschino, Gioacchino Rossini at his youthful silliest, the photos of this production of the opera, opening tomorrow in Rome, Daniele Abbado director, make Opera Chic happy.
(and remember that a kicka$$ Bruschino has just been reprinted by DG: Samuel Ramey and la regina Kathleen Battle for a deliciously low price)
