Part 1 (Part 2 will be broadcast next Sunday) | Don Alfonso lays a wager with two officers, Ferrando and Guglielmo, that their Wives, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, will not remain faithful to them for a day. The emficers say good-bye to their wives, but shortly return disguised as rich Albanians, and make love to each other’s wife. The maid Despina endeavours to induce her mistresses to listen to their rich suitors, but both remain faithful. In order not to lose his wager, Don Alfonso bribes Despina, and when the Albanians pretend to take poison, she appears disguised as a physician and saves their lives by pretended magnetism. Persuaded by Despina, Dorabella eventually gives way to the pleading of Guglielmo, and Ferrando wins Fiordiligi. Despina appears again, this time disguised as a notary with the marriage contracts, when "word is received that their husbands have returned. The Albanians are hidden by their lovers, but escape, only to return in their true characters. They show their faithless brides their marriage contracts, but Alfonso explains everything and so brings about a reconciliation. i 8.45 Reserved 9.0 Continuation of opera 10.0 Close down
