Mozart’s Così fan tutte – A Comedy of Love, Lies and Lessons of Life.

Mozart’s Così fan tutte – A Comedy of Love, Lies and Lessons of Life.

Playful deception meets its match in Mozart’s sparkling comic opera, reminding us that love is rarely as simple - or as certain - as we’d like to believe.

Two young officers make a reckless wager. Can their fiancées remain faithful when temptation comes knocking? With a mischievous plot hatched by a worldly friend, disguises, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements spiral into a deliciously absurd tangle.

Set to some of Mozart’s most radiant and intricate music, this production by Merry Opera is sung in English to a translation by Amanda Holden by a cast of young professional opera singers directed by John Ramster. Così fan tutte blends razor-sharp wit with moments of truth and reflection in this vibrant production that proves Mozart knew the human heart all too well.
