Donizetti's lost Opera buffa
Garibadina Society, 4533 N Figueroa, Los Angeles, CA, USPacific Opera Project has made it a habit of finding lost works. many the great comedic operas that have not been presented recently. Donizetti's Il fortunato inganno was only ever staged once. Not once in the United States. The usual suspects are here: a hapless opera company, a disguise, young lovers and their meddling guardians. But the beauty is all Donizetti's brilliant score.
POP has chosen a 60s theme to go with the Garibaldina's setting. Tables ($35-75) will get Italian pasta and wine. It's a whole affair. Ticket link
