The Secret Marriage
By Domenico Cimarosa
Directed by Richard Goodman

Mendocino Chamber Opera stages the comic opera masterpiece, The Secret Marriage by Domenico Cimarosa, a contemporary of Mozart. The opera is fully staged with period set and costumes, and sung in a hilarious English version by Donald Pippin. The story follows a rich merchant's attempt to gain a title for his eldest daughter by wedding her to a Count, but the Count prefers the youngest daughter, who has been hiding the fact that she is already married.

Directed by Richard Goodman with a cast of experienced local singers: Sarah Wagner, Elaine Miksak, Jenny Windsor, Dan Fowler, Richard Goodman, and Jary Stavely joined by San Francisco tenor Pedro Rodelas. The musical accompaniment is performed by Jack Leung on a Steinway grand.
