However, here in Prague the ensemble, which participates in the Festivals in May, does not appear, but is a studio of the Florentine May Festival. So they are not the first artists, but the co-workers are all students of the Florentine school, which is famous in Italy. However, the performance of the ensemble has already been visited by the director of the foreign office of the Reichstheaterkammer in Italy and has been found to be quite good. Conductor Mario Rossi, one of the best conductors in Italy, has the musical direction of the performance. The ensemble, which arrives in Munich today, is on a trip to Germany, which it carries out at the initiative of the Italian Propaganda Ministry. The orchestra is set up by the German Philharmonic Orchestra Prague (small cast). The piece "Il.matrimonio segreto" (The Secret Marriage) is a cheerful opera in two acts by Domenico Cimarosa, a contemporary of Mozart. The opera was premiered in Vienna in the year l792.
