Rossini in Bad Wildbad: Gazza ladra - The Thieving Magpie 2

José Miguel Pérez-Sierra conducts Rossini's "La gazza ladra" at Kurhaus Bad Wildbad on Thursday, 30 July 2026 at 19:30. This is one of four German dates the conductor brings to the same venue this season. Rossini's semiseria opera, composed shortly after "La Cenerentola", blends comic elements with a dark plot: the unfortunate Ninetta faces execution for the alleged theft of a spoon. The story reflects the actual brutality of the legal system of its time, not operatic convention. Tickets cost 60.50 euros.
