RoyalOpera: Cosi fan Tutte (12A)

210 mins, 1 interval
Sung in Italian with subtitles

Spurred on by a bet, two young men hatch a plan to test the fidelity of their girlfriends. A slippery game of seduction and power ensues; the four lovers plunging into a dizzying world of shifting reality, where truth becomes increasingly unstable. Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, reimagines Mozart’s comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. With an exciting young cast, Thomas Hengelbrock conducts, bringing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the provocative, and resolutely modern, themes at its heart.
