An opera buffa in two acts. What do you get when you cross an Englishman, an Italian and a Dutchman? And when all are vying for the attention of a beautiful French girl, who in fact turns out to be Livia from Genoa...? Set in a decidedly downmarket London hotel, Cimarosa's scintillating comedy of European misunderstanding pitches the Age of Enlightenment headlong into Fawlty Towers. With a score replete with wit and sparkle, L'italiana in Londra was the first major triumph of this great master of Italian opera in the generation before Rossini, and in 1780 was the first of Cimarosa's operas to be given at La Scala in Milan.
