19:00 Così Fan Tutte, Ossia la Scuola Degli Amanti
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera in two acts. 2014, 220 min (with interval). Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. Music Director: Stefano Montanari; Stage Director: Floris Visser. Costume Designer: Dieuweke van Reij. Chorus Master: Valery Borisov. Dramaturg: Klaus Bertisch. Sung in Italian with Russian surtitles. The opera’s full title is Così fan tutte, ossia La scuola degli amanti. More commonly shorted to Cosi fan tutte, which can be loosely translated as “they’re (women) all like that”. The opera plays its cynicism for laughs with its sharply satirical take on relationships between men and women. Così opens in a café with two officers, Ferrando and Guglielmo discussing how they believe their fiancées, Dorabella and Fiordiligi respectively, will stay faithful to them. Overhearing their conversation, Don Alfonso joins them and dismisses their ideas, laying down a wager that he can prove in just a day that the officers’ fiancées are as fickle as all other women. Ferrando and Guglielmo accept Alfonso's wager and make their plan - they will pretend to their lovers that they have been called off to war. Unbeknown to Dorabella and Fiordiligi, the men will return in disguise to try and seduce each other’s fiancée.
