Gaetano Donizetti: IL CAMPANELLO
Contemporary Opera
This performance is not recommended for chrildren under the age of 10.
After his wedding, Neapolitan chemist Don Annibale wants nothing more than to perform his conjugal duties – especially since he has to depart at dawn for Rome, where an important matter awaits him. However, the wedding night is repeatedly disturbed by the bell in the chemist's shop and a parade of characters who are bizarre beyond words. The sun rises, and the lovely bride's former lover smugly sees her new husband off as he leaves for Rome. A true Italian comedy set to Donizetti's exuberant music.
