Domenico Cimarosa was riding high on the triumphant success of Il matrimonio segreto when he embarked on the 'commedia per musica' Le astuzie femminili in 1794. The narrative for this opera revolves around the clever and resourceful Bellina, who devises a plan to avoid an unwanted marriage while gaining a large inheritance and marrying her love Filandro. Styled somewhere between Mozart and Rossini, Cimarosa's witty and tender score includes deliciously comical moments such as Filandro's outlandish Italian-German imitation of a Magyar officer. The spirited performance and lively pace of this opera buffa accounted for its acclaimed reception at the 2022 Reate Festival
