September
1733. The rightful heir to the Polish throne,
Stanislas, is in hiding because of a War of Succession.
When he decides to return, he sets up a decoy
in the person of a French officer to lodge at
the castle of Baron di Kelbar.
Meanwhile,
the Baron di Kelbar has arranged alliances with
important members of Society by marrying off his
daughter and his niece. But, to their grief, the
women have other loves.
On
the day the real king is maneuvering to regain
his throne, the false king is maneuvering to block
the arranged marriages and deliver the women to
their true loves.
This
is a 19th century comic opera replete with mix-ups
and misunderstandings. It was so popular that
Verdi was commissioned to make a new musical setting
of this existing text. In only his second opera,
we hear the young Verdi begin to emerge from contemporary
musical models to forge the language that was
to become his own. |
