La canterina, ‘The Singing Girl’, is the farcical tale of would-be singer, Gasparina, a money-grabbing minx who is down on her luck. Aided by her friend Apollonia – who is disguised as her mother and rather adept at procuring wealthy suitors for ‘her daughter’ – the tricksters exploit the affections of young callers, one of whom is Gasparina’s lascivious singing teacher. Rent-free living, money, diamonds and promises flow. When they are discovered, can they charm their way out of it, and is all forgiven and forgotten?
