  Partly based on the 1766 English comedy 'The Clandestine Marriage' by David Garrick and George Colman, Domenico Cimarosa's Il Matrimono Segreto was a widely popular example of opera buffa in its day. This sparkling comedy tells the story of Geronimo, a wealthy citizen of Bologna, who is trying to arrange aristocratic marriages for his two daughters, Carolina and Elisetta. However his plans seem destined to fail as his daughter Carolina is already secretly married to Paolino, his young secretary. Through a series of humorous situations the young couple confess their marriage and all ends well.

  The third of the one-act farces Rossini composed for the Teatro S. Moise, La scala di seta (The Silken Ladder) is probably the best-known, at least by name, because its overture has become one of the most popular of all Rossini's contributions to that genre, a lively perpetuo moto that anticipates the energy of the comedy to follow.The secret marriage of Giulia and Dorvil goes much against the wishes of Giulia's tutor, Dormont. Each night Dorvil visits his wife by climbing up a silken ladder she lowers from her balcony. The disguises, romantic confusions and door slammings that occur are breathtaking. In the end Giulia and Dorvil reveal their secret marriage to Dormont's reluctant acceptance.
