Coming to the Charing Cross Theatre for an extremely limited premiere run is a new production of Rita or Deux Hommes Et Une Femme.
This classic opera composed by Gaetano Donizetti, with a libretto by Gustave Vae¨z has been reworked with a new English translation and new orchestration specifically for a chamber ensemble. This domestic comedy has been delighting audiences for more than 160 years.
Rita, the domineering and abusive wife of faint-hearted Peppe is in for a surprise when her long-lost, and presumed dead, first husband appears at her inn.
Now it is up to the husbands to work out who is staying and who is going.
