ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Part one.
Don Carissimo is giving a singing lesson to his pupil Dirindina, young and pretty, but musically not gifted; the master reveals his jealousy for the castrato Liscione, to whom the girl pays dubious attention. Just at that moment the latter arrives, informing Dirindina that they are requesting her from Milan, to support her demanding and very well-paid role in the theatre. Don Carissimo would like to accompany the girl, but receives a curt refusal; he even tries to continue the lesson, but since Dirindina and Liscione persist in ignoring him, he threatens to report everything to the girl’s mother, Dirindona.

Second part.
Liscione advises her friend on how to behave in Milan, in order to compensate for her lack of professionalism with her beauty and some gimmicks. After they agree on what to do, Dirindina is persuaded to rehearse a tragic scene, the part of Dido in an invective against Aeneas. Meanwhile Don Carissimo arrives: he does not realize that it is a play but instead takes seriously the references to the “stained bed” and the “marital knots”. Already disturbed by the improbable union between Dirindina and the castrato, when the fruit of this relationship is also mentioned, Don Carissimo comes out, suggesting to Dirindina first of all that she eliminate the child and then marry Liscione.
