Programme Note
Synopsis:
The rich Don Perlimplin has married the young Belisa. In order to keep her happy, he invents a young lover who sends her flowers and writes her poetry. In the end he kills himself rather than tell her that he is the lover, because he cannot live up to the ideal he has created.
