Così fan tutte

DVD 2022

The focus of Lorenzo Da Ponte's libretto for Così fan Tutte is on female infidelity, two partner-swapping couples, and a wager. Its enigmatic ambiguity and lightness of touch, its razor's edge balance between irony and empathy, detachment and involvement, and on-stage reality and illusion is structured with perfect Classical symmetry. More than any other opera it explores the depths and darker impulses of the experience of love.
