Enjoy a comedy double bill with these two operas as they present a glorious representation of married life in one form or another.
First off, experience one of Donizetti’s most popular short operas ‘Rita’. The somewhat tyrannical inn-owner and wife of Peppe is shocked by the return of her former husband Gasparo whom she had thought dead by drowning (he had run away to far-off lands). Gasparo is back to acquire Rita’s death certificate so he can remarry – because he, in turn, thought she had died. Followed by Il segreto di Susanna (Susanna’s Secret), a simple comedy of confusions. Conte Gil returns home to the smell of tobacco – and suspects his beautiful wife Susannah has a lover. Witness the outrageous ways in which Gil seeks to discover the existence of another man in this perfect little opera which shot Wolf-Ferrari to fame.
