La scala di seta è una farsa comica in un atto di Gioachino Rossini su libretto di Giuseppe Maria Foppa, rappresentata per la prima volta a Venezia nel 1812. La vicenda si svolge nell'appartamento di Giulia, pupilla del tutore Dormont, che ha promesso la nipote in sposa al ricco Blansac. Giulia è segretamente sposata con Dorvil, che ogni notte sale in camera sua calando dal balcone una scala di seta. Il servo Germano, impiccione e invaghito di Giulia, e la cugina Lucilla complicano la situazione con equivoci e gelosie. Giulia cerca di far innamorare Blansac di Lucilla per liberarsi del fidanzamento imposto.
Nel corso della notte, tra inseguimenti, nascondigli e rivelazioni, emergono le verità: Germano scopre il segreto della scala e lo rivela; Blansac e Lucilla si innamorano reciprocamente; alla fine Dormont sorprende tutti e, dopo le confessioni, perdona il matrimonio segreto di Giulia e Dorvil. Blansac sposa Lucilla e tutti si riconciliano in un allegro finale che celebra l'amore e la furbizia dei giovani contro le imposizioni dei tutori.
La scala di seta is a one-act comic farce by Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Giuseppe Maria Foppa, first performed in Venice in 1812. The story is set in the apartment of Giulia, the ward of her guardian Dormont, who has promised his niece in marriage to the wealthy Blansac. Giulia is secretly married to Dorvil, who climbs up to her room every night by lowering a silk ladder from the balcony. The servant Germano, a meddlesome fellow who is infatuated with Giulia, and her cousin Lucilla complicate matters with misunderstandings and jealousy. Giulia tries to make Blansac fall in love with Lucilla in order to free herself from the imposed engagement.
Over the course of the night, amidst chases, hide-and-seek and revelations, the truth comes to light: Germano discovers the secret of the ladder and reveals it; Blansac and Lucilla fall in love with one another; in the end, Dormont surprises everyone and, following the confessions, forgives Giulia and Dorvil's secret marriage. Blansac marries Lucilla and everyone is reconciled in a joyful finale that celebrates the love and cunning of the young couple in the face of their guardians' impositions.
