Arrighetto

About the show

Nobleman Arrighetto hides under the name Tebaldo, working as gardener in Corrado’s household while awaiting news that he can safely reveal himself. Corrado intends his daughter Despina to marry Count Ludovico, but she loves Giannotto, who is Arrighetto’s elder son; Ludovico is the younger son, raised by another family. When Ludovico recognizes Giannotto and gives up his claim to Despina, news of the defeat of Charles I allows Arrighetto to disclose his identity, reunite with his sons, and bless Giannotto’s marriage.
