Così fan tutte
What's it about?
Two loving couples shortly before their wedding: Fiordiligi and Guglielmo, Dorabella and Ferrando. So far, so clear. But Mozart already hints that it won't be so simple in the 'crossed' vocal parts of the characters. He pairs soprano with baritone, mezzo-soprano with tenor, suggesting that perhaps something is together that doesn't belong together. Then, a test arrangement by the philosopher Don Alfonso causes the fragile balance of the couples to falter. In league with Guglielmo and Ferrando, he arranges a partner exchange. The women are told that their future husbands must go to war. Shortly afterward, the two return in disguise, pretend to be strangers, and try to win the fiancée of the other for themselves... Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 1790 opera, based on a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, masterfully misleads the audience and the characters. Is it really possible that the women do not recognize their disguised men? Who truly belongs to whom? When does a couple really 'fit' together? And is a staged partner exchange really the right method to answer all these questions? Influenced by the conflict between baroque emotional control, Rococo sensibility, and Enlightenment rationalism, Mozart's and Da Ponte's masterpiece raises questions that we also face today in an era of sexual freedom and supposedly unlimited possibilities. Many seem to have lost faith in the one true encounter, but the deep longing for enchantment and fulfilled partnership remains unbroken.
