Youthful folly. Sublime music.
What is the true nature of love? It's a question every generation must face. Subtitled The School For Lovers, Così fan tutte is a bedroom farce complete with pining lovers, silly schemes and outrageous disguises. It is also an honest look at the pain and joy of growing up. Youthful certainty discovers the complexity of real life as the young people learn about love and their own hearts.
Mozart's sense of the ridiculous and the profound, his genius for melody and ensemble writing, and his sensual music make Così fan tutte his most adult opera – at once delightful and perplexing, mystifying and enchanting.
