Un giorno di regno, ossia Il finto Stanislao

About the show

In 1733, French officer Belfiore impersonates the Polish king Stanislaus at Baron Kelbar’s castle in France. The baron plans to marry his daughter Giulietta to the older treasurer La Rocca, though she loves La Rocca’s nephew Edoardo. The Marchesa del Poggio, who loves Belfiore, is engaged to Count Ivrea. Belfiore arranges Giulietta and Edoardo’s marriage and prevents the Marchesa’s wedding. A letter from the real king releases Belfiore from his impersonation, and he and the Marchesa can marry.
