How brilliant does this sound? I'm thinking it's a must-do...
"The Gotham Chamber Opera is New York City's leading opera company dedicated to the highest quality productions of chamber operas rarely performed in opera houses today. Our mission is to present vibrant, fully-staged productions of works from the Baroque era to the present that are intended for intimate venues.
...Rossini’s comic one-act opera IL SIGNOR BRUSCHINO, first presented at the Teatro Moisé in Venice in 1813, paved the way for Rossini’s burst of stardom with the premiere of Tancredia mere ten days later. Gotham’s production of IL SIGNOR BRUSCHINO is set in the sexy and stylish world of Rome’s Via Veneto circa 1960: molto Fellini. Young lovers Florville and Sofia are thwarted when Sofia’s guardian, Gaudenzio, arranges for her to marry into the well connected Bruschino family. Fueled by copious amounts of luck and lire, Florville waylays the groom-to-be, impersonates him, convinces Bruschino that he is in fact his son, and gets the girl."
