About the show

Lisinga and her friends Tangia and Sivene entertain Lisinga’s brother Silango, recently returned from Europe. They perform a tragic scene as Andromache, a pastoral duet, and a comic aria about a Parisian dandy. Tangia’s jealousy of Silango and Sivene’s affection informs her satire. They conclude that each style has its shortcomings and finish with a ballet about the Judgment of Paris.
