Performance Notes:
3. Olivia meets Cesario (who is really a young woman named Viola in disguise). Cesario is trying to convince Olivia to date his boss, Duke Orsino. Unfortunately, Olivia has no interest in Duke Orsino and actually starts flirting with Cesario, which makes Cesario uncomfortable.
Performance Notes:
4. Duke Orsino complains to Cesario, his servant, about Olivia—the woman he loves. (Cesario is really a young woman named Viola who is in love with Duke Orsino.) Cesario tries to convince Orsino to try other women, but Orsino says no woman can truly love. Cesario disagrees.
