The Marriage Promissory Note, or Happiness for a Day
The play "The Marriage Promissory Note, or Happiness for a Day" is a sparkling comic opera by Gioacchino Rossini, which first conquered Venice back in 1810. After a long pause, this masterpiece returns to the big stage in a completely new, unexpected reading. The plot, which in the original unfolded in the mannered England of the 18th century, in a modern production will transport the viewer to the ideal "Garden of Eden". But this impeccable idyll is instantly destroyed when a hero appears who does not fit into the framework of the ideal world at all, provoking a series of curiosities and funny misunderstandings.
