La trama dirigida a los adultos ofrece durante hora y media con un intermedio, a tres personajes en escena: “Dulce” mujer sumisa que accede a todo con tal de tener contento a su novio quien se burla de ella. Mientras que “Bárbara”, amiga de Dulce, es la encargada de hacerle ver que debe cambiar para que su hombre no la trate mal. Por su parte “Jorge” el novio de la historia, un hombre que le vale todo y hace sufrir a su pareja hasta que ella decide abandonarlo y cambiar, hasta ese momento se da cuenta lo que está perdiendo, por lo que Jorge cambia y se convierte en un hombre dócil que reflexiona sobre el valor que tienen las mujeres y termina revalorando, pasando así del clásico macho a ser un hombre enamorado y respetuoso de su pareja.
La comedia en general, lleva a la vida de una pareja como muchas que encontramos, personas disfuncionales y antitesis de lo que sería una pareja ideal, ya que ella es al principio insegura dependiente de su hombre que solo la utiliza sin que esta se dé cuenta. Y el hombre es el típico galán que cree que merece todo y se aprovecha de su pareja para que haga incluso el papel de sirvienta cuando este quiere, siendo ordinario, grosero, calculador y frío.

One of the earliest and most celebrated operas, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas is arguably one of the most important operatic works of the 17th century.
Having forsworn romantic love, Dido, Queen of Carthage, is tormented by the Trojan hero Aeneas, who is desperate for her affections. As their love is kindled, a powerful sorcerer plots the queen’s downfall.
Through deceit, trickery, and the conjuring of a raging storm, Dido is ripped from Aeneas, in Purcell’s soaring, richly nuanced work culminating in one of opera’s greatest tragedies.
Opera San José Music Director Joseph Marcheso conducts this stunning new production, featuring celebrated baritone Efraín Solís as Aeneas, lauded soprano Maya Kherani as Belinda, and multi-award-winning bass-baritone Nathan Stark as the Sorcerer.
