Il matrimonio per concorso" - marriage by newspaper ad? Why not, thinks the enterprising Don Pomponio, who doesn't want to leave anything to chance. Especially not the choice of his future son-in-law! So the nouveau riche Neapolitan merchant quickly places an ad in the newspaper to find a suitable husband for his daughter Lisetta. However, she loves Filippo, the landlord of the inn where they are staying. Also part of this cheerful comedy of mistaken identity are Anselmo and his daughter Doralice, who is already promised to Monsù Traversen, the traveler Alberto, who is actually looking for the advertised girl Lisetta, but falls in love with Doralice, who he mistakes for Lisetta , and the pompous Madame La Rose. similar names, Loosely based on Goldoni's comedy "Il matrimonio per concorso", the young Gioachino Rossini composed his lively early work "La Gazzetta" - entitled dramma per musica , but actually a true opera buffa - in which the influence of the newspaper and the media on people's lives satirized with a lot of humour. In times when online partner search and dating selection via swipe have become socially acceptable, Rossini's work attains a completely new topicality. Rossini's opera "La Gazzetta" is considered a true treasure trove of musical material that the bel canto composer also used for other works: some numbers were already heard in "Il turco in Italia" (1814) and many other musical motifs can be found in later ones operas again. Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868) even reused the overture from “La Gazzetta” for his masterpiece “La Cenerentola”! In 2017/2018, Alexandra Liedtke celebrated her successful opera debut at the Salzburg State Theater with "The Tales of Hoffmann". She staged other operas at the Salzburg Festival and at the Vienna State Opera. Due to Riccardo Minasi's illness, Robin Davis will conduct this rarely performed work.
