il mondo della Luna (The World on the Moon) is an Opera buffa by Joseph Haydn with a libretto by Carlo Goldoni.

It was first performed in the opera house at the country estate of Esterháza as part of the marriage celebrations for the son of Prince Nikolaus Esterházy.

It concerns a rather overprotective father and his opposition to the marriage plans of his two daughters and their maid.

The suitor of one of the daughters is an astronomer who informs the father that with his telescope he can see people on the moon and he plans to go there.

After drugging the father they 'arrive' on the moon and the father believing he is on the moon sees his daughters marrying the men of their choice. He protests but is berated by the king of the moon.

All ends well - the father realises he has been tricked and forgives all when he sees the happiness of his daughters.
