La Scala: COSI FAN TUTTE

Opera fantastique in four acts (1881) New Production! A top-flight cast features in acclaimed director Robert Carsen’s new staging of Mozart and Da Ponte’s brilliant and insightful comedy on love, fidelity and the fickleness of human behaviour. As part of a bet with Don Alfonso (Gerald Finley), Ferrando and Guglielmo (Giovanni Sala and Luca Micheletti) must try to woo each other’s fiancées’ Fiordiligi and Dorabella (Elsa Dreisig and Nina van Essen). Tackling Mozart’s beautiful and nuanced music is British conductor Alexander Soddy, much in demand at Covent Garden, the Metropolitan, and the Staatsoper of Vienna and Berlin.
