This lively comedy is filled with charming characters and set against a backdrop reminiscent of Italian film stages, capturing the essence of William Wyler’s Roman Holiday with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. It combines elements of farce with deeper emotions, making it one of the great humane comedies in opera.
