In a clever transposition of Italian village life, the plot examines themes of love and greed, as the land girls are drawn to Nemorino upon learning of his inheritance.
Director Harry Fehr's vision of the story, steeped in 1970s sitcom aesthetics, provides a humorous yet poignant commentary on the true essence of affection and desire.
With strong performances from the orchestra, despite initial issues with soloist projection in the grand space, the show promises stronger comedic elements as it progresses.
