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.
