Quirky farce, romantic tragicomedy, philosophical treatise on the nature of young love – Mozart and Da Ponte’s enduring classic Così fan tutte is all that and more.

A satirical love story that takes a wry look at men and women against a backdrop of disguises, false goodbyes, and deceptions. 

Any opera that translates broadly as: “All women are like that!” must be fertile territory for a female-led creative team to bring a fresh lens to this popular opera. Underpinning all of this is Mozart’s beautiful score – perhaps his most radiant of all.
