Il matrimonio segreto What happened on February 7, 1792 in the Vienna Court Theater is probably unique in the history of opera: after the premiere of Domenico Cimarosa's Il matrimonio segreto , Emperor Leopold II not only demanded the repetition of individual musical numbers, but also wanted to see the entire opera again and arranged the second performance for the same evening. The incident is certainly unusual - but anyone who has seen this turbulent buffo opera full of unbeatable situation comedy and heard Cimarosa's music, which is so sparkling with wit and charm, will understand the Emperor's wish only too well and at most regret that opera evenings are so long these days are no longer possible.
