Defying her domineering father and scheming Aunt, Carolina and Paolino, her father's secretary, take matters into their own hands as do many young lovers in opera, but this time without the tragic ending. Cimarosa and librettist Bertati play on the faults and strengths of each of the 6 characters in this comic roller coaster of an 18th century opera. Imagine mixing Mozart with Rossini and the Commedia Dell'Arte. Young lovers, clever servant, miserly old man, and all.
