La vera costanza

La vera costanza, An Opera by Joseph Haydn. Packed with joy, comedy, romance, sensational twists and wonderful music, Haydn’s La vera costanza was first performed in 1779 at the Esterhazy court.

We have a wronged heroine, who is a fisherwoman, her protective brother, a scheming baroness, her impatient lover, an unhappy count, a foolish fop, and almost needless to add, a cheeky maid! There are misunderstandings, thunderstorms, a household of spies, and a big secret!
