Rita and La Serva Padrona

Work:: Rita and La Serva Padrona (S85674379)

Commotion arises when the dominating Rita and her timid husband Beppe receive an unexpected visit from Rita's first husband Gaspar. Each believes the other to have died and Gaspar unknowingly arrives seeking Rita's death certificate so he can remarry. Beppe sees this as an opportunity to escape his marriage, as Gaspar is still legally Rita's husband. The two men agree to a game - the winner will have to stay with Rita. Each of them tries to lose, but Gaspar cunningly manipulates Rita and Beppe to fall in love again. Meanwhile, wealthy old bachelor Uberto is kept under the thumb of his maid Serpina. He enlists his manservant Vespone to help him find a wife and get rid of Serpina but she convinces Vespone to trick Uberto into marrying her. Their elaborate plan works and by the time Uberto has agreed to marry Serpina he realises he had loved her all along. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll certainly be astounded by the calibre of this innovative company.
