Così Fan Tutte

Experience all the fun of the fair in Mozart’s Italian comedy masterpiece, where things aren’t quite what they seem for two loved-up couples, who find themselves taking the ultimate relationship test. All women are the same, right? Not to be trusted! Well meddling Don Alfonso seems to think so. In fact, he’s so certain, he’s putting his money on it. Determined to prove his point, he persuades his two friends Ferrando and Guglielmo to put their fiancées’ loyalty to the ultimate test. The plans are set, and the bet is made. The men will pretend to be called away to war but instead will return in disguise and have 24 hours to attempt to seduce each other’s sweethearts – Fiordiligi and Dorabella – who are unwittingly enjoying a fun day out at the fair. Every relationship has its up and downs, but this one is a roller coaster. Hold on tight, as we transport you to Coney Island, 1950 complete with pleasure garden, fairground rides, and sensational circus acts. Teamed with one of Mozart’s final operatic works, this whimsical yet melancholy score sets the scene for a day of farcical frivolity that will be sure to leave you spinning.
