A
little
deception
can
be
forgiven
in
the
pursuit
of
love.
In
this
charming
and
graceful
comedy,
a
countess
pretends
to
be
more
innocent
than
she
really
is
to
catch
the
eye
of
a
wealthy
man.
This
lovely
comedy
began
Mozart’s
career
in
opera
and
is
filled
with
youthful
high
spirits
and
an
abundance
of
catchy
and
tuneful
arias.
