Il capello di paglia di Firenze
The Moravian-Silesian National Theatre (Ostrava)
Language
In Italian, surtitles in Czech, English
Performed as part of the 16th Music Theatre Opera Festival 2025
A comic opera by a composer best known for his music in Federico Fellini's films and The Godfather trilogy. In the shadow of these Oscar-winning and other awards, however, Rota's remarkable body of symphonic, chamber and music-dramatic compositions is often overlooked. A striking example of his versatile musical talent is the comic opera The Florentine Straw Hat, whose libretto was inspired by the famous farce by Eugène Labiche and Marc Michel. This story gained extraordinary popularity in the Czech Republic, especially thanks to Oldřich Lipský's 1971 film adaptation starring the brilliant Miloš Kopecký.
