Pimpinone

Georg Philipp Telemann
30 – 31 May 2019

A comic opera first performed in 1725 and hugely popular in its day with both story and music delightfully entertaining.

Synopsis

Vespetta, a chambermaid, is looking for a rich husband. She decides the wealthy and gullible Pimpinone fits the bill but discovers she is not quite suited to the responsibilities that come with marriage!

Supported by Goethe Institut Irland.
