This libretto, a comedy, is a little complex- but I still found it to be appealing. There are many twists and turns to it and, for a modern reader, it offers a glimpse into the aristocratic intrigues that revolved around the heights of the time that this was composed. I read an edition that had the original Italian libretto next to it, so it was also useful in teaching me a few Italian words at the same time.

Worth it! 3.5 stars. ( )
