What is the opera Cosi fan tutte about?
Cosi fan tutte (translated as “Women Are Like That”) is a witty exploration of the complexities of love. The story follows two young officers, Ferrando and Guglielmo, who, under the influence of the scheming Don Alfonso, test the fidelity of their fiancées, Fiordiligi and Dorabella. Disguises, deception, and unexpected emotions ensue as the characters navigate the tumultuous waters of love and trust.
Cosi fan tutte originally premiered in Vienna in 1790 and is the final collaboration between Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. While initially met with mixed reactions due to its provocative themes, the opera has since become a staple in the operatic repertoire. This production is a revival of ENO's acclaimed staging, last produced in 2022, known for its inventive setting, reimagining the action at a 1950s American fairground, complete with carnival attractions and a troupe of circus performers.
Cosi fan tutte is a comic opera, or opera buffa, that delves into themes of desire, temptation, and the nature of romantic relationships, all wrapped in Mozart's sublime music and Lorenzo Da Ponte's clever libretto making it a “a perfect introduction to opera” (Broadway World). But whether you're an opera aficionado or an ENO newcomer, this acclaimed production of Cosi fan tutte offers a delightful blend of humour and romance, with “bags of style” (Guardian) and plenty of theatrical flair.
