"Il Re burlone: Dramma in 4 atti" by Gerolamo Rovetta is a theatrical drama written in the early 20th century. Set in the context of the Kingdom of Naples, the play revolves around the court and political intrigues involving King Ferdinando II, his royal family, and various courtiers. The narrative delves into themes such as power, societal norms, and the role of the performing arts during a time of political tension. At
the start of the drama, we are introduced to the characters and the lively atmosphere surrounding an opera performance in Naples. The scene unfolds in the "Albergo del Giglio d'Oro," where the excitement of the evening is palpable with the arrival of Rosalia Mirabella, a celebrated prima donna, her sister Fannya, and various members of the court. As they prepare for a festive gathering, the characters engage in humorous banter, highlighting their relationships and social dynamics, while hints of underlying tensions regarding royal authority and artistic expression begin to emerge.
