Lo sposo di tre e marito di nessuna Cherubini

The husband of three, and the husband of noneit is the only comic opera that Luigi Cherubini wrote for Venice. The playful drama in two acts with a libretto by Filippo Livigni made its successful debut at the Teatro San Samuele in November 1783. Cherubini, at the time in his early twenties, tried his hand at a genre that was unusual for him, creating a divertissement in line with the tradition of Neapolitan school full of musical verve and panache. The action is animated by the usual swirl of deceptions, misunderstandings, jokes and disguises for the use and consumption of characters who seem to come out of a canvas of the commedia dell'arte: the baronesses Donna Lisetta and Donna Rosa, the captain Don Martino, Don Pistacchio barone of Lago Secco, Don Simone his uncle, the commoners Bettina and Folletto. Everything revolves around the unsuccessful marriage of Don Pistacchio, betrothed to Donna Rosa who, misled by Don Martino, Lisetta's brother, he courts both Donna Lisetta and the commoner Bettina, only to retrace his steps regretfully. But 'those who want nothing too tightly', says an ancient proverb, and Don Pistacchio, who courts as many as three women, in the end will not be able to impalmarize even one.
