La Scala di Seta is the third title of the 2022 Opera Season and is one of Gioachino Rossini's freshest and most sparkling creations; it debuts for the first time on the Veronese stages and is proposed on four dates starting from March 27th.

It is a one-act comic farce that was performed for the first time at the Teatro San Moisè in Venice on 9 May 1812. With this composition from his youth Rossini had achieved great success in the comic field. The work unfolds in a single uninterrupted action and has a brilliant melodic vein.

The direction of this new production of the Fondazione Arena is signed by Stefania Bonfadelli, a famous soprano from Verona and recently a director in demand throughout Europe, especially in the funny and semi-serious repertoire of the early nineteenth century. The creative team is completed with the sets by Serena Rocco and the costumes by Valeria Donata Bettella.

The main character is Giulia, pupil of the old Dormont, who is in love and secretly married to the handsome Dorvil, a wedding favored by the goodness of an old aunt. Dormont suspects nothing, since the two lovers meet without his being able to see them, and Dorvil goes up to Giulia's room thanks to a silk staircase.
