Rebellious servants, capricious lovers, cross-dressing farce and a happy ending: the fast paced action of this comic Baroque opera had all the ingredients to please the self-confessed âlow-brow tasteâ of an Austro-German prince, who commissioned Giuseppe Scarlatti for a piece to celebrate his sonâs wedding. This is the operaâs first revival in modern times, and it takes place in the very same Baroque theatre, impeccably restored to its original glory, which hosted the first performance. With a cast of young singers drawn from Pragueâs National Theatre and a stylish period-instrument ensemble, this vivid reconstruction will delight audiences as much today as it did the aristocratic guests at ÄeskĂ˝ Krumlov in 1768. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
