This story of a sorceress who enthralls men in her island prison has inspired operatic settings by a multitude of composers. Renée Fleming stars in Rossini’s version of this fanciful and magical tale, opposite no fewer than six tenors. Tony Award-winning director Mary Zimmerman describes this new production as “a buried treasure, a box of jewels.”
