Synopsis

Act 1

Scene 1 – Pantalone is smitten by the charms of the courtesan Hortensia, but the ungrateful woman is not interested in the old man's affections.

Scene 2 – Lelio is doubtful about the feelings of his beloved Nisa, and concludes from her present of a flower that there is little love in her for him.

Scene 3 – Pantalone promises his daughter Isabella to doctor Gratiano, because he likes the clumsy fellow, who answers badly and listens even worse.

Act 2

Scene 1 – Because he believes that his beloved Isabella is in love with Captain Cardone, in utter jealousy Lucio announces to jump in the abyss.

Scene 2 – Cardone quarrels with Zane, because after many hints he won't understand him, but he rather confuses him so that his answers are strange. Nevertheless eventually he knocks on Isabella's door.

Scene 3 – Isabella pretends to be in love with the Spanish Captain, so that when she dies she would more hurt his insatiable desires .

Scene 4 – As soon as the Captain is gone Isabella bursts out lamenting for Lucio. She draws courageously a dagger to depart from life.

Scene 5 – Frulla persuades Isabella not to thrust the dagger by announcing her that her lover Lucio is still alive.

Act 3

Scene 1 – As the wedding contract between Pantalone and Gratiano has been agreed now, they joyfully start planning the festivities.

Scene 2 – With a melting and enamoured voice the Doctor sings a gracious madrigal under the balcony of his lovely bride.

Scene 3 – Francatrippa goes to the Jews to pawn a hangmat. He knocks at the door and a noise is heard of many voices in unspeakable languages.

Scene 4 – From a distance the faithful lovers meet rejoicing in their presence, pledging to be true till death.

Scene 5 – Everybody is now content and happy. Isabella and Lucio are wed and a great exchange of valuable gifts is displayed.
