Synopsis:
Fernando and Guglielmo, two army officers, test the fidelity of their lovers, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, respectively, by pretending to go off to war but returning in the guise of Albanians. A marriage contract is about to be signed when the officers return in their normal dress. Their pretended fury at their lovers’ ‘betrayal’ is allayed and all ends well.
