Rossini - La Cambiale di Matrimonio

The plot of La cambiale di matrimonio, which Rossini composed when he was
just eighteen years old, revolves around the farcical attempts of Tobia Mill, a
rich English merchant, to combine business with pleasure by forcing his
daughter, the lovely Fanny ("the merchandise") to marry Slook, his rich
colonial correspondent from America, by means of a bill of exchange.
Eventually it is the gallant Slook himself who persuades Mill to allow Fanny to
marry her true love, Edoardo Milfort. This Rossini Opera Festival - Pesaro
production features two well-established singers, Désirée Rancatore and
Saimir Pirgu, who are joined by three promising young singers: Fabio Maria
Capitanucci, Enrico Maria Marabelli and Maria Gortsevskaya.
