  • |What to Expect from Così Fan Tutte
    | WHAT TO EXPECT FROM COSÌ FAN TUTTE ON THE SURFACE, MOZART’S COSÌ FAN TUTTE HAS ALL THE MARKINGS OF THE WORK: a typical comic opera: tender lovers, a crafty maidservant, deceptions and COSÌ FAN TUTTE pranks, trials and confessions, and a wedding at the conclusion. But on closer An opera in two acts, sung in Italian study, Così fan tutte is a paradox. It explores depths of emotion previously Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart untapped in opera buffa while moving between high farce and profound Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte beauty. That the work could be both accused of irony, cynicism, and triviality First performed January 26, 1790 and celebrated for communicating deep emotional truth and philosophical at the Burgtheater, Vienna, Austria import is a testament to this opera’s complex identity. Written barely two years before Mozart’s early death, Così fan tutte stands as his final, multi- PRODUCTION layered statement in the Italian opera buffa genre. Amid the opera’s quick-fire David Robertson, Conductor comedy and ravishing melodies, the drama offers an examination of the battle Phelim McDermott, Production between love and reason and a closer understanding of human fallibility. Tom Pye, Set Designer This new Met production, previously presented at the English National Opera, is by the inventive director Phelim McDermott, whose work in opera Laura Hopkins, Costume Designer ranges from Philip Glass’s Satyagraha to The Enchanted Island, an original Paule Constable, Lighting Designer Baroque pastiche opera. In Così fan tutte, McDermott transforms the opera’s original setting but maintains its characters’ isolation: The drama unfolds STARRING in a surprisingly closed environment in which the characters’ only seeming Amanda Majeski occupation is the business of love.

Dramma giocoso en deux actes (1787) « C’est le drame humain qui m’intéresse avant tout. Un drame humain qui Livret de Lorenzo Da Ponte puisse résonner pour nos consciences contemporaines » déclarait l’homme de théâtre il y a deux saisons à l’occasion d’Idomeneo. Gageons que cette SAISON CENTENAIRE quête de la « liberté suprême » que revendique fièrement le licencieux Don NOUVELLE PRODUCTION Giovanni, trouve ce printemps encore tout son sens... Don Giovanni s’annonce fièrement comme un dramma giocoso. L’expression semble difficilement traduisible en français tant l’alliance des termes y est forte Jérémie Rhorer direction musicale mais dès que l’on cherche à y pénétrer, on est précipité au cœur d’un délicieux Stéphane Braunschweig mise en scène et scénographie tourbillon d’ambiguïtés.
