La buona figliuola, Act 1

Northwestern University's School of Music presents La buona figliuola. A comedic masterpiece, La buona figliuola was composed by Piccinni in 1760 on a commission from the city of Rome. The opera created a furor, quickly becoming the most popular and performed work of the 18th century. The libretto, written by Carlo Goldoni and based on Samuel Richardson's 1740 novel Pamela: Or Virtue Rewarded, was published in London. It tells the story of a forbidden love between a nobleman and his beautiful, virtuous gardener. Issues of class are raised, similar to those raised later by Mozart in his opera Le nozze di Figaro.

Saira Frank is singing the pants role of Il Cavaliere Armidoro. That's me! This opera went to Italy and was performed in the composer's hometown of Bari in September 2007.
