Così fan tutte

Two couples, an obscure call to the army and a dubious string-puller are the ingredients of this cheerful drama: actually freshly in love and engaged, Ferrando and Guglielmo separate from their partners Dorabella and Fiordiligi to go to war. Because they (apparently) fall in battle there, the women are left behind in their grief and find their way back to life in very different ways. Or was it all just a set-up by the men in the end?Kirill Serebrennikov's production dissects the states of mind of the two women, how they deal with grief and the physical desire between two people, making Mozart's masterpiece more sensual to experience than ever. "This is highly entertaining, exciting, amusing, extraordinarily complex and sensationally planned and acted. Mozart would have been delighted. So sexy, so ironic and profound is his music, is da Ponte's story. Here they find their master director and a brilliant company of singers." [INFORADIO]
