Salsipuedes es una tragicomedia que narra dos historias que corren paralelas: la de los amantes que se buscan y se encuentran de una manera que no hubieran querido hallarse, y la de la isla del título que se encuentra bajo el poder de un dictador. A lo largo de la ópera juegan una con la otra. De esta manera se refiere Luis Martín Solís a la obra en tres actos de Daniel Catán, con libreto en español del escritor cubano Eliseo Alberto, en colaboración con el mexicano Francisco Hinojosa y el propio Catán.

On Saturday, March 9, 2019 at 7:30pm, the curtain will rise on Rita (Two Men and a Woman) and Susanna's Secret, two one-act operas that are sure to bring a smile to the audience. The light evening of comic story lines and beautiful music is perfect for the first-time goer, while the rarity of the pairing and authenticity of the production will satisfy even the most sophisticated opera lover. A playful look at marital discord is at the heart of both Donizetti's Rita and Wolf-Ferrari's Susanna's Secret, but the conflicts resolve themselves in very different ways, both musically and dramatically. The darkly comic Rita (originally titled Two Men and a Woman) is about a mercurial and domineering woman who has re-married after mistakenly thinking her first husband has died. When he reappears unexpectedly, a showdown arises between her two husbands to decide the outcome-who has to remain married to Rita, and who gets to leave the exasperating situation. In Susanna's Secret, a jealous husband smells tobacco on his wife's clothes and is convinced that she is having an affair. He searches and searches but can't seem to catch her in the act. What could her secret be?
