A "dramma giocoso in two acts", Il matrimonio segreto is Cimarosa' s masterpiece and the only one of his operas to have survived in the regular repertoire to this day. The recipe for such a success? the opera is practically perfect, splendidly balanced, accompanied from start to finish by an unfailing vein of felicitous melodic invention, orchestrated with unwonted attention, rich in irresistible arias and ensembles, always amusing but never farcical, based on a libretto of good quality.
The Itallian cast grants a perfect understanding of the comical vein of the work, which is properly conveyed to the audience.
