Step into a whirlwind of wit, twists, and unexpected turns in this one-act comic opera!
Rita is a no-nonsense innkeeper with a strong hand, a stubborn streak—and a not-so-bright second husband. Just when she thinks life is under control, her first husband—long presumed dead—walks through the door. But he’s not back for romance... and he’s shocked to find Rita alive, well, and remarried! What follows is a sharp-tongued showdown full of mistaken intentions, hilarious misunderstandings, and operatic mischief. With toe-tapping tunes and rapid-fire drama, Donizetti’s Rita is a sparkling, bite-sized gem that hilariously redefines “happily ever after.” Music by Gaetano Donizetti Libretto by Gustave Vaëz
