Carlo Goldoni
The Liar
comedy
Translated by:: Gizella Magyarósi
The hero of The Liar, Lelio, is a masterful portrayal of the archetypal shallow young gentleman. There is no difficult question to which he wouldn’t respond with a shameless lie. He may successfully weave his false tales for a while, but eventually, he is found out and must leave in disgrace from the circle of honest young people whose happiness he nearly ruined. In a nutshell, this is the plot of the comedy, which remains one of the most frequently performed works by one of the genre’s most outstanding masters. However, Carlo Goldoni (1707–1793), born in Venice, is not a frequent guest on the Oradea stage. According to our records, The Liar has never been performed here, and Goldoni himself was last represented here in 1958 with Mirandolina. Hopefully, it will be a joy to meet him again.
