L’impresario delle Isole Canarie

About the show

In this satirical intermezzo, singer Dorina awaits an impresario and complains about the ornamented audition music of the day. Nibbio is more intent on seduction than artistic judgment and tries to persuade her to sing. During a second meeting, Dorina lists extravagant contract demands; Nibbio accepts them, but still fails to achieve his goal.
