Le Comte Ory First performed in Paris in 1828, Gioachino Rossini's Le Comte Ory is considered one of the most erotic operas in world musical literature. The title character, Count Ory, is a cunning swindler and is obsessed with seducing women. When all husbands have to go to war, Ory immediately seizes the opportunity to approach the female population of a village. The women, however, have taken a vow of chastity, and the loving Count will grit his teeth above all on the beautiful Comtesse Adèle. Even disguised as a nun is of no use to him. Again and again he is exposed and finally has to move away without having reached his goal. Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier have moved the plot from the Middle Ages to the bourgeois, anti-lust ambience of a French village in the sixties of the 20th century. The celebrated production promises a reunion with the American soprano Brenda Rae, who was already inspiring in Zurich as Konstanze in Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio . Now she is presenting herself for the first time as Comtesse Adèle. The Uruguayan tenor Edgardo Rocha sings the Count, Rebeca Olvera can be seen again in the trouser role of page Isolier. Victorien Vanoosten conducts the Philharmonia Zurich.
