Get ready for barrels of laughter and charm with Pergolesi’s Maid Made Boss (La serva padrona).
This clever comic opera has enchanted audiences since its premiere in 1733. It tells the story of Serpina, a savvy maid who outwits her boss, Umberto, to become the mistress of the house. Its irresistible tunes, witty dialogue and playful plot are guaranteed to entertain and delight. Spiced with lively Neapolitan flavour, this production is filled with humour, role reversals and feminine wit. Maid Made Boss is a delightful blend of comedy and music that will leave you smiling long after the final note.
Inspired by the success of Pinchgut’s 2023 ‘tiny opera’ Pleasures of Versailles, this lightly-staged production offers a concentrated burst of entertainment, ideal for those looking to enjoy a high-quality opera performance in a fun and lighthearted format. At just 75 minutes, this charming and witty comedy with Italian flair is the perfect afternoon treat.
Directed by Eugene Lynch, featuring soprano Celeste Lazarenko baritone Morgan Pearse, and Gareth Davies.
Conducted by Erin Helyard with Orchestra of the Antipodes
