A FRESH NEW TAKE ON MOZART’S ROMANTIC COMEDY
Two sisters bid a tearful farewell to their battle-bound fiancés. Armed with disguises and wily determination, the ladies have the last laugh-outwitting their future husbands’ mischievous “fidelity test.”
Mozart’s Così fan tutte is sometimes silly, often romantic, and always a delight. This new production from celebrated director Michael Cavanagh will whisk you away to an opulent 1930s country club and features some of the brightest stars in opera today. Hear them deliver memorable melody after melody-trust us, you’ll leave wanting more!
Featuring Metropolitan Opera powerhouse Rodney Gilfry as the trouble-making Don Alfonso and as the men who should have known better: David Portillo, praised for his warm, sexy tenor; and Dallas favorite and Grammy Award-winner Lucas Meachem.
Elizabeth Askren conducts this production from San Francisco Opera.
