Donizetti’s comic tale of trickery and deception has delighted and surprised audiences for centuries. The witty story of a middle-aged man whose supposed young wife runs rings around him, with her own ulterior romantic purpose in mind, in combination with Donizetti’s sparkling score remains as fun and full of life as ever.
Returning after a successful run in 2019, Damiano Michieletto’s exhilarating production shows how contemporary the characters still are and how immediate and touching the story remains.
