Two young women seem devastated when their boyfriends appear to go to war. But are the four lovers real people or actors in a drama someone else is directing? Will it all end in tears, or laughter? This staging is The Royal Opera’s first new production of Mozart's witty and enigmatic Così fan tutte in twenty years.
In his Royal Opera House debut, Jan Philipp Gloger--one of the most exciting of the younger generation of German directors--sets the opera in a theatre. Most of the exciting cast also make Royal Opera debuts, including Corinne Winters, already an acclaimed Violetta and Mimì at English National Opera, while Royal Opera House favourite Semyon Bychkov conducts Mozart here for the first time.
