Synopsis:
It is 1750s Venice, and the ladies in town are all a flutter over two heartthrob gondoliers who plan to choose their brides. When Marco and Giuseppe propose to Gianetta and Tessa, the whole of Venice prepares to celebrate their wedding. Unbeknownst to all of them, a ducal Spanish family has just floated into town. Years ago, the bumbling Duke’s lovely daughter, Casilda, was married in infancy to the future King of Barataria. But Don Alhambra, the Grand Inquisitor, swapped the baby prince with a gondolier to save his life from a rebellious faction that recently met its end. Now it’s a hunt for the true King of Barataria- who will be king? What sort of king will he be? And, if the king is Marco or Giuseppe, what becomes of the brides they have just married? Giggle your way through this ridiculous saga of baby-swapping wrapped in sparkling, lively song and dance. Drink in the warm Venetian sunshine and float away on a river of shimmering operatic comedy featuring full orchestra, stunning costumes, and striking sets.
Approximately 2.5 hour run time with one intermission.
