The libretto was by Carlo Goldoni, who, with a mixture of comic and serious characters, provided witty social commentary. The story tells the tale of Lindoro, Prince of Sorrento, who is in search of the lost Princess of Benevento; he wishes to marry her and retore her to her rightful throne. She was last seen at the fishing village of Taranto, where two fisher girls – Nerina and Lesbina – live. When the Prince arrives, they both pretend that they are the Princess, in order to catch the his eye. To do so, they ditch their current lovers, the fishermen Fresollino and Burlotto; the men in turn seek revenge by trying to pass off each other’s girlfriends as the Princess. However, by means of a dramatic identification of a jeweled dagger, it emerges that Eurilda is the Princess; she has been in Mastricco’s care all the time.Le Pescatrici was, like Haydn’s other operas, premiered in the theatre at Eszterháza, the residence of the composer patron; the first performance was on 16 September 1770 to mark the wedding celebrations of Countess Lamberg, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy’s niece, and Count Poggi. The staging was extravagant and a huge success, but the destruction of the vocal and orchestral parts in the opera house fire of 1779 has meant that the surviving work is a reconstruction of Haydn’s original and receives few modern stagings because of it. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oxford/summer-opera-haydn-le-pescatrici-the-fisher-girls/100001981942077105 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, trips-adventures, performances, live-music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 54.88, max: 54.88, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Oxford - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: New College - **lat**: 51.7548111 - **long**: -1.2506286 - **full address**: New College, Holywell Street, Oxford, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Summer Opera Haydn: LE PESCATRICI (THE FISHER GIRLS) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/2aff96f189e82812c4409bcc9faaae833fb4a4eb194b0193dfe060699acdf9b3-rimg-w558-h412-dcaca293-gmir.jpg?v=1769759356 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Summer Opera Haydn: LE PESCATRICI (THE FISHER GIRLS) being held? - **A:** Summer Opera Haydn: LE PESCATRICI (THE FISHER GIRLS) takes place on Sun, 05 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Sun, 05 Jul, 2026 at 10:30 pm at New College, Holywell Street, Oxford, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Summer Opera Haydn: LE PESCATRICI (THE FISHER GIRLS)? - **A:** Tickets for Summer Opera Haydn: LE PESCATRICI (THE FISHER GIRLS) are priced at GBP 55 per person.
