Così fan tutte

Let the games begin! Young soldiers Ferrando and Guglielmo are so confident that their fiancées Fiordiligi and Dorabella will remain loyal when they are away that they make a bet to prove it. A dashing disguise, a slick seduction…what could possibly go wrong? It’s all fun and games until the women fall for their “new” admirers.

Mozart’s comedy returns as charming as ever after it was postponed in our 2020–2021 season. A cast of opera’s rising international stars assembles to sing Mozart’s sublime music backed by an onstage orchestra, from the luminous “Soave sia il vento” trio to Fiordiligi’s determined “Come scoglio” aria. Don’t miss the moment puppet master Don Alfonso exerts unique control of the lovers with the help of Mozart! Everyone fools and everyone is fooled in this satirical romp. Are love’s strings more loosely attached than we’d like to admit?
