New Chamber Opera presents: Paisello's La Frascatana 'The Girl from Frascati' 

 

The story is set at an inn on the outskirts of Rome. Violante (soprano), daughter of a rich gardener from Frascati, is an idealistic young woman who dreams about love. She is upset by the amorous advances of her tutor, Don Fabrizio (bass), and when she meets a young and handsome Roman, Nardone (tenor), they fall in love. The Cavaliere Giocondo (tenor), betrothed to the rich Donna Stella (soprano), also falls in love with Violante. Both the Cavaliere and Nardone confess their love for Violante to Don Fabrizio, who becomes jealous. Complications develop when Lisetta (soprano), the waitress of the inn, falls in love with the Cavaliere. At the same time Donna Stella, furious after being jilted by the Cavaliere, comes to seek revenge. Don Fabrizio schemes to separate Nardone from Violante, but no amount of intrigue can succeed. In the end the Cavaliere returns to Donna Stella, while Nardone and Violante celebrate their happiness.
