Join us as UT Opera Theatre presents Cimarosa’s Il matrimonio segreto (The Secret Marriage), sung in Italian. Performances will be held at the Bijou Theatre in downtown Knoxville.

Jealousy, lust, greed, and secrets fuel the hilarious plot of Domenico Cimarosa and Giovanni Bertati’s sparkling farce, Il Matrimonio Segreto (The Secret Marriage). Geronimo seeks an arranged marriage between his eldest daughter, Elisetta and the wealthy Count Robinson. When the Count arrives to accept the dowry, he is instead infatuated with Geronimo’s youngest daughter, Carolina, and proposes to accept half the dowry amount if Geronimo agrees to offer Carolina’s hand in marriage instead of the supposed promised bride, her elder sister, Elisetta. Unaware that Carolina is already secretly married to one of his employees, Paolino, Geronimo is tempted to accept the Count’s renegotiated offer. Paolino and Carolina were hopeful to finally reveal their big secret once Elisetta would marry the Count. Unaware that Carolina and Elisetta’s Aunt, Fidalma is herself in lust with Paolino, he attempts to enlist Fidalma’s help. Mistaking his entreaties for amorous advances, Fidalma and Elisetta plot to have Carolina sent away to a convent so that Fidalma may marry Paolino and Elisetta may marry the Count. Paolino and Carolina plan to flee under the cover of darkness, but their escape is foiled and many secrets revealed!

About Hazi:
"Growing up in the small town of Kodak, Tennessee, I lived more life than any kid should. I faced numerous challenges, but these experiences only fueled my passion for music. From a young age, I found comfort and inspiration in melodies and lyrics, using music and my faith in Christ as a way to navigate through tough times. My music style itself is a product of my upbringing. Southern sound meets soulful melodies. I call it Southern Soul. Today, I wish to continue to inspire others with my music, sharing a message of hope and determination. My story is not just about the pursuit of a dream, but about the strength to rise above adversity."
