The Gondoliers

About the show

Venetian gondoliers Marco and Giuseppe Palmieri learn that one is heir to Barataria, but the Grand Inquisitor cannot identify which brother. They rule jointly while their new wives remain in Venice. The Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro reveal that their daughter Casilda was married in infancy to the lost prince, though she loves her father’s servant Luiz. The Inquisitor discovers that Luiz is the true heir and Casilda’s husband. The brothers surrender the crown and return to Venice with their wives.
