A musical comedy in three acts (1732)

A rare recording of Pergolesi's second opera, a comic and colourful tale of tangled love in which three girls resist their arranged marriages in pursuit of the same young man. Rediscovered by conductor Riccardo Muti, this forgotten jewel sparkles in its 1989 period production. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Starring Marcaniello - Alessandro Corbelli, Ascanio - Nuccia Focile, Nena - Amelia Felle, Nina - Bernadette Manca di Nissa, Luggrezia - Luciana D'Intino, Carlo - Ezio Di Cesare, Vannella - Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz, Cardella - Nicoletta Curiel, Don Pietro - Bruno De Simone, and Lo Schermidore - Luca Bonini.

"…delivered with a polish that makes almost every moment a delight. …the comic brilliance of the baritones Alessandro Corbelli and Bruno De Simone, the lustrous voices of the sopranos Nuccia Focile, Amelie Felle and Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz and mezzos Manca di Nissa, Luciana D'Intino and Nicoletta Curiel, and the fluent pacing of the whole make a joyful contribution."
