In a provincial hotel, guests from all over Europe are stranded on their way to a great coronation. Intrigue, politics, romance and lost luggage all play their part in Rossini’s last Italian opera. Featuring one of the largest casts the company has ever assembled, English Touring Opera present a new production from Valentina Ceschi, conducted by Jonathan Peter Kenny.
