TELEMANN'S PIMPINONE

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26th, AND SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27th

HOC presents Georg Philipp Telemann's comic intermezzo Pimpinone. Fully titled "The Unequal Marriage Between Vespetta and Pimpinone" or "The Domineering Chambermaid," this 1725 mini-opera predates modern-day situation comedies. Vespetta (Italian for "little wasp") convinces the wealthy and slightly lecherous older gentleman, Pimpinone, to hire her as chambermaid and then fools him into marrying her.
