This uproarious comedy, by the composer best known for The Godfather film scores, Nino Rota, comes from Teatro San Carlo in Naples. Groom-to-be Fadinard sung by Piero Adaini gallops around Paris on his wedding day in search of a straw hat to replace the one his horse has inadvertently eaten. The bright and breezy score perfectly captures the increasingly ridiculous situation that rides on the edge of chaos. In this 1950s madcap romp Teatro San Carlo Chorus and Orchestra is conducted by Valerio Galli.
