L'impresario in angustie is an operatic farsa in one act by composer Domenico Cimarosa with an Italian libretto by Giuseppe Maria Diodati. The opera premiered at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples, Italy in 1786. [1]
The opera, often forgotten throughout the 19th century, regained popularity starting in the 1930s and was performed at the Teatro Regio in Turin and the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Modern editions of this score were prepared in 1993 by Nick Rossi and Talmage Fauntleroy, and in 2006 by Simone Perugini on behalf of the Accademia Lirica Toscana "D. Cimarosa.".
