In the colorful world of "The Matchmaker," marriage is negotiated, alliances are carefully constructed, and dowries often weigh as much as feelings. Couples are formed according to well-calculated strategies, and social and economic advantage seems to be the key to a successful union. But the true mastery of the matchmaker is revealed when interest and love meet, and love finds a place among calculations and appearances.

From this meeting a comedy is born that has "„all the ingredients of an excellent vaudeville: sparkling and ingeniously constructed characters, irresistibly comic situations and a bright story about love.”"(Ion Sapdaru)

The show's motto:
„"How beautiful youth is,
That's how it runs away!
Whoever wants to be happy, let him:
Di doman non c'è certezza.”
(Lorenzo de' Medici)
