Seattle Opera's only performance of this Handel comedy starred Frederica von Stade. The opera was performed in Stephen Wadsworth's singing English translation; our RING 3 team (director Wadsworth, set designer Tom Lynch, costume designer Martin Pakledinaz, and lighting designer Peter Kaczorowski) created the production.
