This show was conceived along with Francisco’s second production of Cosa Rara as a Martin y Soler mini-series, and shared the same design team. Both shows use the world of Pop Art and Japanese Manga as a reference in the staging of these light, sexy comedies whose popularity made even Mozart envious in their day. They have now been proven to still have the power to delight audiences, mainly thanks to very witty libretti by Lorenzo da Ponte. The show has been released on DVD. Several international monthly magazines elected both the show and the DVD as “event of the month”.
This was Francisco’s 40th production.
