Hostess husband Beppe has a problem: His wife is clearly wearing the pants and is keeping Beppe on a tight rein after the bad experiences with her first husband. There is always a fight over who should do the washing up. So what is he doing? He tries to get rid of his wife in an elegant way. It's best to go straight to the next best guest, who surprisingly turns out to be Rita's ex Gasparo. But he's not at all keen on getting Rita back, so both men decide to play for her...

Because he could not find a suitable stage for the premiere, Gaetano Donizetti wrote the cheeky one-act play about two men who compete for a woman under opposite conditions, initially for the drawer in 1841 during a stay in Paris. It was not until 1860, twelve years after the composer's death, that »Rita« was performed at the Paris Opéra-Comique. Now the sparkling marriage comedy full of wonderful bel canto melodies can be experienced for the first time at the Gärtnerplatztheater in a new German version by cabaret artist Thomas Pigor!

English

Gastwirtin-Ehemann Beppe hat ein Problem: Seine Frau hat eindeutig die Hosen an und hält Beppe nach den schlechten Erfahrungen mit ihrem ersten Mann am kurzen Zügel. Regelmäßig gibt es Streit, wer den Abwasch erledigen soll. Was macht er also? Er versucht, seine Frau auf elegante Weise loszuwerden. Am besten gleich an den nächstbesten Gast, der sich überraschenderweise als Ritas Ex Gasparo entpuppt. Doch der ist keineswegs scharf darauf, Rita zurückzubekommen, und so beschließen beide Männer, um sie zu spielen ...

Weil er keine passende Bühne für die Uraufführung fand, schrieb Gaetano Donizetti den frechen Einakter über zwei Männer, die unter umgekehrten Bedingungen um eine Frau wetteifern, 1841 während eines Paris-Aufenthalts zunächst für die Schublade. Erst 1860, zwölf Jahre nach dem Tod des Komponisten, kam »Rita« in der Pariser Opéra-Comique auf die Bühne. Jetzt ist die spritzige Ehe-Komödie voller herrlicher Belcanto-Melodien erstmals am Gärtnerplatztheater in einer deutschen Neufassung von Kabarettist Thomas Pigor zu erleben!
