Il Matrimonio Per Industria (Marriage by Industry) is a dramma giocoso per musica by Ferdinando Rutini. This Italian opera, likely first performed in the late 18th century, showcases Rutini's talent for melodic invention and dramatic pacing. The libretto, typical of the era, likely involves themes of love, social maneuvering, and perhaps a critique of societal norms regarding marriage and industry. This work offers valuable insights into the development of Italian comic opera during a period of significant musical transition. A vital addition to any collection focusing on opera history and Italian vocal music.
