Comic misunderstandings, secret romance, and sparkling music come together in The Silken Ladder (La scala di seta), the beloved one-act opera by Gioachino Rossini, opening May 28 at Theatro São Pedro. Presented by the Opera Academy and the Youth Orchestra of Theatro São Pedro, the production runs through May 31 with stage direction by João Malatian and musical direction by Gabriel Rhein-Schirato. Premiered in Venice in 1812, the opera follows Giulia and Dorvil, secretly married lovers whose nightly rendezvous depend on a silken ladder lowered from her bedroom window.
