Description
The country bumpkin loves the village beauty. She possesses a bit of money, education and sophistication, whose lack he laments, feeling that it creates an impassable gulf. His redeeming quality of complete and untutored honesty makes him both victim of charlatanry and ultimate victor in amore. A patent-oil salesman and a narcissistic recruitment officer breeze into town to fill out the cast of hilariously colorful characters.

The beauty of this favorite opera lies in the balance between na•vete and depth in its sunny narration of requited love Đ all of which will come to life on the intimacy of the small stage.
