The Little Square

Approved

Take: a little Mozart, a little Rossini, a little Puccini, a little Verdi, Venetian folklore, a pinch of modernity and entrust these ingredients to the composer Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, who was born in Venice in 1876 and who in an inimitable way also handles the mundane everyday life in his musical theater works into a truly great opera. For example in “Il Campiello” - a musical comedy based on a turbulent comedy by his compatriot Carlo Goldoni. First performed in 1936 at La Scala in Milan and premiered the same year in Munich, the rarely performed buffo opera is now being rediscovered at the Mozarteum University. With this, the Italian composer Wolf-Ferrari is returning to the house where he worked as a composition professor in the 1930s before he fled to Switzerland from the National Socialists.

In a Venetian piazzetta (Campiello) fun-loving women, imperious men, a young gigolo, a Neapolitan nobleman, the indispensable doctor and two real Italian mums (sung by two tenors) meet. There is wild partying, jealous beating and beating and of course a lot of love.
