Act One #

Fracasso, a Hungarian captain, is in love with Giacinta. His sergeant, Simone, is in love with Giacinta’s maid, Ninetta.

The four delight in the pleasures of love, youth, and freedom.

+

Giacinta is afraid of being found out by her two brothers, Cassandro and Polidoro. Fracasso and Simone have been quartered in Cassandro’s house for two months. Ninetta has no respect for either of the brothers. Cunning is needed to get around her misogynistic masters so they will allow them all to get married. She wants to make them fall in love with Fracasso’s sister, Rosina, a Hungarian countess who is coming soon for a visit. Ninetta asks to speak with her as soon as she arrives to put a plot in motion.

Simone complains and warns Fracasso: wives are too much trouble and too expensive, especially for a soldier who likes things simple.

Fracasso is impatient to get married. He offers to carry Giacinta off by force. Giacinta will have none of it, though she does love him. She wants a husband who won’t cause her too much trouble and whom she can control.

Cassandro fumes against all women. He confronts Fracasso. His sister cannot stay. Cassandro has heard that the sister is not very smart, perhaps even a lunatic. Fracasso bets that Cassandro will fall in love. If he were to just look the lady in the face, he will love her. Even when women are faithless and ungrateful, you still have to forgive them. Cassandro resolves to impress Fracasso’s sister.

+

Inside the house, Rosina asserts that anyone can declare love with his lips, but not always with his heart. It is possible, without shame, to flirt with everyone, yet love only one.

Moores School of Music staff

Ninetta has already instructed Rosina to make both the foolish brothers fall in love with her by pretending to be much more naïve than she is. Polidoro nervously arrives first. Rosina is aggressive with him. Polidoro compliments Rosina and her attire and immediately proposes marriage. Rosina lays out rules for courtship: first a visit, then a gift, then a love note. But Polidoro can’t write. Ninetta volunteers to do it for him.

Polidoro rejoices in his prospects for marriage. Cassandro is not impressed with Rosina nor with his brother. Polidoro realizes what makes women so pleasing. He wants a sweet little wife.

Rosina encounters Cassandro. She professes to be in love with both brothers. Cassandro is taken in by her seeming naiveté. She unsuccessfully tries to extort a ring from him. Cassandro won’t give up the ring, but he’s tempted by her.

Rosina reports on her progress. She plans to make them both fall in love with her to the point of marrying her. She’ll then choose which one. She muses that the echo gives back only the sounds you make. Women should do the same with lovers. Love the one who adores you and give nothing to the one who offers nothing.

Special Thanks

Ninetta has the love note prepared. Polidoro plans to give it to Rosina himself. Ninetta has no time for all these games.

A man who loves her should come out and say so.

Polidoro is thrilled to find Rosina alone. She feigns being insulted by him. He offers the note. Fracasso and Rosina pretend to be insulted by that too. Polidoro is confused. Rosina asked for a note!

Ninetta suggests that Polidoro kneel and ask forgiveness. Rosina and Fracasso decide to accept the note. Just as the note is handed to Rosina, Cassandro sees it and confronts her. She declares that she wrote the note for him. He falls for her lie and takes the note aside to read it.

While Cassandro reads, Polidoro slips a purse to Rosina. She then offers to give Cassandro the money in exchange for his ring. He’s reluctant but agrees on account of her love note.

Simone bursts in. There’s someone outside that wants to see Rosina. Rosina starts to leave with the ring. Cassandro tries to hold her back. Simone returns, insisting that the man outside wishes to dine with her. Cassandro decides to invite everyone to dinner so Rosina won’t leave the house with his ring.

Synopsis

Director’s Notes

Act Two Ninetta and Simone wait for the dinner to be over. Simone is hungry. She insists that a little time together is better than food. Simone disagrees. Ninetta complains about his lack of gallantry. She addresses the ladies in the audience: women want to find husbands who will do as they say.

Giacinta rushes in. Fracasso and Cassandro are drunk and having an argument and are coming to blows! Simone doesn’t care. In fact, he’d like to help beat up Cassandro. He advises Giacinta: certain people need a stick to control them. Women need to learn to use it to keep their men in line.

Giacinta fears she won’t have a husband if there’s a duel. Polidoro reports that the argument is about the ring. She scoffs at Polidoro’s plans to marry Rosina and advises against it, but asks his help to make Cassandro let her marry Fracasso.

Polidoro doesn’t care and agrees. Giacinta vows that when she marries, she’ll be in complete control of her husband.

Ninetta bursts in. Rosina is urgently looking for Polidoro. She wants to say goodbye before she moves to other lodging.

Polidoro is riled up. He’s ready for action and enlists Ninetta’s help.

Rosina begs love to not strike her.

Cassandro is drunk. He’s come to get his ring back. Polidoro stands up to him and demands his share of the inheritance.

He’s going off to Hungary with his bride Rosina. Cassandro is astounded. Rosina is content to have two husbands.

Cassandro calls her stupid, making her cry. Polidoro stands up for her.

Because Cassandro is drunk and stinks of wine, Rosina makes him sit at a great distance from her. Now they can’t hear each other, so they attempt to communicate through mime. Cassandro dozes off. While he’s asleep she puts the ring back on his finger. She wakes him up. Cassandro was dreaming of the ring. Cassandro asks which of the brothers she loves more. She replies that she loves them both equally, declaring that a generous heart should not confine itself to one lover.

Fracasso picks a fight with Cassandro. Cassandro announces that he will marry Fracasso’s sister and let her keep the ring that she stole from him. Fracasso points out the ring on Cassandro’s finger. Cassandro is dumbfounded. Fracasso challenges him to a duel. Cassandro uses every trick to delay the duel from happening and runs away.

Rosina is delighted with the plot’s progress. Fracasso wants to elope with Giacinta and enlists Simone’s help. Ninetta doubts that Giacinta would go, even though she adores Fracasso. Fracasso advises the women in the audience that playing hard to get is a good tactic to use with men.

Polidoro insists on his share of the inheritance. Cassandro threatens Polidoro with a stick.

Rosina is horrified and pretends to faint. The others attempt to revive her. She calls for her husband. Both Polidoro and Cassandro answer. Fracasso announces that Giacinta has run off with all their money. Ninetta goes off to find her. The brothers lament the loss of their money. Fracasso gets them to agree to give Giacinta as wife to whomever finds her and throw in the money as dowry to boot. Simone announces that Ninetta has also gone and taken everything she could from the house as well. Rosina suggests that Ninetta also be given to the first one who finds her. Rosina knows which brother she has chosen but won’t reveal it. All look forward to the day when all this is straightened out.

Simone begs Ninetta to marry him. There’s no time to waste. Ninetta really wants a husband, but woe to him who crosses her.

Giacinta is worried to death about her brother’s wrath. If her brother doesn’t take a wife first, he’ll never agree to her getting married. Fracasso suggests that Giacinta go talk to Rosina. He doesn’t know the ways of women. The wars of love are different than normal battles. Sometimes some trickery is useful to wear your opponent down.

Cassandro presses Rosina on her promise to marry him. Rosina declares that she’d like to marry both of them. She makes Cassandro hide. Polidoro is also ready to get married, but despairs of getting his brother’s permission. Their father’s will is clear. All the inheritance goes to the eldest brother, Cassandro. Polidoro will have to find a job. But a countess can’t marry a carpenter. Rosina keeps them guessing which one she will choose.

The history of music is understandably composer-centric, but when looking at the history of opera it’s important to remember how significant the contribution of the librettist is to the form of the work. Such was the case with Carlo Goldoni, the original librettist for La finta semplice. Goldoni is remembered today as the most significant and prolific playwright in eighteenth-century Italian theatre, especially in comedy. His house is still a tourist stop in Venice today.

But in addition, he is responsible for the codification of the Italian comic opera form. Goldoni created what is known as the ensemble finale and its prominence is particularly clear in La finta semplice. Operas in the first half of the eighteenth century generally consisted of a string of arias separated by secco recitatives. In order to achieve maximum comic energy, Goldoni added an ensemble that would end each act with the characters interacting in a series of duets, trios, etc. usually ending with the entire cast on stage in a state of mayhem. The first examples of this were fairly primitive, but, as they continued to develop, the ensemble finales became longer and more complicated like the ones seen here this season in Don Giovanni and La Cenerentola.

The title of the opera is rather difficult to translate into English. The word “finta” indicates that a woman is pretending to be someone else. A “semplice” is a simpleton. Unfortunately, “The Woman Pretending to be a Simpleton” doesn’t really have much of a ring to it. Operas with “finta” in the title were actually quite common during this time period. Indeed, Mozart himself wrote another “finta” comedy a few years later, La finta giardiniera, (or The Woman Pretending to be a Gardener) an opera whose Houston premiere was also presented by the Moores Opera Center.

Mozart was all of twelve years old when he wrote this piece in 1768. Most twelve-year-olds have never even seen an opera much less written one. It was not a ground-breaking piece, rather it conformed very much to the conventions of its time. It also used a ready-made libretto that had already served for several other composers in the past. This libretto was adapted from the original Goldoni libretto by the future Viennese court poet Marco Coltellini. This was a position historically taken by Italians in the cosmopolitan Austrian emperor’s court and the position often required supplying librettos for new operas. It was not the last time Mozart wrote an opera with a Viennese court poet. His later three masterworks, The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte all had librettos by court poet Lorenzo Da Ponte.

Grace and charm are qualities that seem to have vanished in our contemporary society, but they were highly prized in the eighteenth century. La finta semplice is filled with both. The notion of realism on the stage was still a century away, and in this opera, characters frequently break the fourth wall and speak directly to the audience, commenting on the state of affairs in the story. The plot of the opera relies on the time’s fondness for plots involving servants smarter than their masters, and women who are always, always smarter than the men. Perhaps realism WAS the order of the day.

The opera would have been performed in the eighteenth century with only painted backdrops for scenery. Our projections provide a modern equivalent for those drops. One of our COVID compromises would have also been familiar to Mozart. The development of the orchestra pit was many years in the future, so having the orchestra on the same level as the audience, while intended by us as a COVID precaution, gives a taste of the eighteenth-century theatrical layout as well.

We are producing two operas in repertory this weekend. You can binge-watch opera this weekend by also attending our production of Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring, a comedy about small-town life in England.

Despite the pandemic, we have still managed to present a full season of opera, albeit with socially-distanced stagings, and, when we are performing indoors, with masks as well. But it has salvaged what could have been a disastrous year for our singers and kept live opera going in Houston. May you and your loved ones stay safe, and hopefully we’ll all reconvene in the fall with a back to normal season and back to normal lives.

Buck Ross Director, Moores Opera Center

Polidoro insists that only her hand will cure love’s affliction, but she gives her hand to Cassandro. Ninetta and Simone, Fracasso and Giacinta announce their weddings. Cassandro is furious. What’s done can’t be undone. Rosina reveals her deception. Polidoro is relieved. All is forgiven and all rejoice.
