Synopsis. An elederly Neapolitan apothecaryDon Annibale, marries young and pretty

Serafina. Enrico, a gay young blade, plansrevenge. Three times, as the old man is readyfor bed, Enrico rings the bell that anapothecary may not ignore. First he simulates

a Frenchman who demands wine; next a

singer who has lost his voice and needslozenges; last, a doddering old man who listshis wife's illnesses ad infinitum. The opera

ends as the dawn breaks and the bell is rung

for the last time to announce the coach and

horses which will drive Don Annibale to Rome,

where his presence is needed to settle a will.He loses Serafina's dowry because the marriage

has not been consummated in the time

required by law.
