LA FINTA GIARDINIERA (THE PRETEND GARDEN GIRL)
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Giuseppe Petrosellini
Brian Robertson, director
Gary Wedow, guest conductor
If you’re falling in love with the new girl gardener, make sure she’s not your estranged wife first. A musical chairs approach to romance, La Finta Giardiniera features feuding lovers, silly disguises and temporary insanity. CCM sets the story on the backlot of a sound stage for a reality TV show. Enjoy the hijinks both on and off stage as the reality show’s cast and crew try to complete the making of La Finta Giardiniera. Sung in Italian with English subtitles.
