So many suitors!
Three suitors—Arsace, Emilio and Armindo—all vie for the affection of the
captivating social butterfly, Partenope. But when Rosmira (Arsace’s jilted
lover) arrives disguised as a fourth suitor “Eurimene,” the ante is upped.
What follows is a topsy turvy war of wits, a battle of passions, and perhaps a
bare-chested duel for good measure.
This playful, fast-paced Baroque comedy of errors provides more laughs
than you can Handel!
