I list & lust

I list & lust comprises two short comic baroque operas with 300 years of history: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's "La serva padrona" and Georg Philipp Telemann's "Pimpinone". The shared theme is maidservants who scheme to climb the social ladder - and hopefully gain a little love along the way. The production is modernized and adapted for touring, with baroque music accompanied by more contemporary elements.

We encounter a smart and resourceful woman in two different historical periods. Love, relationships, and work were probably just as complicated in the 18th century as they are today - and with a bit of scheming and maneuvering, one might manage to outwit one's boss, or perhaps only fool oneself.
