First performed in 1777, this opera could as well have been written about our days—the rich aristocrat Bonafede dreams about flying to the moon. Taken to a lunar universe by his daughter’s clever suitor, Bonafede is made to accept all kinds of arrangements that he would never agree to on earth. But doesn’t a trip to the moon change a person substantially? Capacity is limited. Masks required. Please email germanschool@middlebury.edu for more information.
