Dozens of people are placed in quarantine due to the harsh weather. Passions run high: those who should not fall in love do so, while those who ought to form a couple fall out of love. In confinement, many things are revealed about one another, and instead of a cancelled carnival wedding, a days-long quarantine party begins. Ede Poldini’s comic opera, premiered in 1924, returned to the OPERA repertoire in 2022 after a fifty-year hiatus. The recent pandemic had cast the piece in entirely new colours: a series of moments and states of mind familiar to all of us unfold, allowing us to laugh at ourselves and at how we spent that period locked within four walls.
