Mozart wrote La finta giardiniera at the age of 18. It is a classic 18th-century comedy - and contains several interesting elements: Here we find the prelude to what would later become Figaro's wedding ,  especially from the second act and the finale of fourth ; the buffo role is interpreted by a tenor, which was quite unusual at the time, since this role was usually played by a bass . It is an opera about ageing , lost opportunities, lost and found love, old and new ; full of Mozart's humor and understanding of human nature . 
 
Such an exciting and funny story about who and what we are, is perfect for the master's students at the Opera Academy/KhiO! Several couples are looking for love, and complete confusion prevails . Misunderstandings and hopeless situations appear on a continuous basis ; and brings with it seduction, tantrums, reproaches and deceit. As night falls, so will the masks, and the misunderstandings evaporate  as you finally celebrate three marriages.
