Così fan tutte is a comedy and tragedy all at once. It is hilarious, zany opera buffa, and at the same time it is a profound, realistic, and deeply human drama. How much are we willing to wager on a loved one's fidelity? And what are we willing to learn about ourselves in the process? Aptly subtitled The School for Lovers, this masterful opera puts all its principal characters to the test, and each is found to be human. The world is turned upside down for the young lovers in this opera, and generations of audiences since 1790 have been left wondering what happen after the final curtain.
