Love And Laughter

Flirtation and fidelity are the order of the day in Mozart's sublime opera buffa Cosi Fan Tutte, ossia La Scuola Degli Amanti (The School For Lovers)! A romantic comedy of the highest order, Opera Colorado stages the brilliantly playful work at Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Full cast and creative list will be announced in due course, and the exquisite work will be performed in Italian with captions in both English and Spanish.

What is the Story?

Two Sisters, Fiordiligi and Dorabella are persistently wooed by a pair of foreigners while their soldier fiances are away at war. But this is just a test of fidelity set up by the philosophizing master of ceremonies, Don Alfonso,  who gains a collaborator in Despina the maid. Alas, the foreigners are in fact their betrothed in disguise! Guglielmo and Ferrando set out to seduce the other's partner in order to win the wager set before them by Alfonso. Over the course of the deception, the young couple's definition of love and certainty is thrown off-kilter, with their feelings revealed to us through Mozart's masterful score.
