In Donizetti's one act opera I pazzi per progetto, five "weighty" male characters, all of them baritones, bass-baritones or basses, gyrate around two women. After its 1830 premiere, the piece was forgotten for 150 years, until Florentine conductor Bruno Rigacci rediscovered it for the Opera Barga Festival in 1977.
The work is a farce par excellence in which the lovers all pretend to be insane in order to find out whether their mates truly love them. The doctor has to be on his toes to identify the genuine patient from this bunch of madmen! The entertainment – and the madhouse – are provided by Donizetti's ensemble pieces.
