Rita
Charing Cross Theatre Productions presents its hilarious new production of Rita composed by Gaetano Donizetti, with libretto by Gustave Vaez, in a new English-language translation and new orchestration for chamber ensemble by Alejandro Bonatto, who will also direct the production.
This funny domestic comedy has delighted audiences since its premiere. Never performed in Donizetti's lifetime, it premiered posthumously at the Opera-Comique in Paris on 7 May 1860, 12 years after his death.
