Two characters in this opera sing the duet “Cinque (“CHIN-kay”), dieci, venti” while measuring (15[1])dimensions for a new bed. After he is forced to join the army, (15[1])a boy in this opera is mocked as an “amorous (-5[1])butterfly.” In this opera, Antonio’s flowerpots are broken after (*) Cherubino jumps out of a window and lands on them.
