Mozart Così fan tutte
English National Opera takes its first ever bow at The Bridgewater Hall with two semi-staged concert performances of a Mozart classic: the sparkling Così fan tutte.
Ferrando and Guglielmo reckon they’re loved-up for life, secure in romantic bliss with fiancées Dorabella and Fiordiligi. Don Alfonso, their older and more cynical pal, begs to differ. “Così fan tutte,” he tells the brothers. Women are all the same. And then he sets about trying to prove them wrong…
Love, loyalty and the vagaries of human nature come under the microscope in Mozart’s comic masterpiece. Fast-rising director Ruth Knight directs a star-studded cast in this semi-staged production, arriving direct from the London Coliseum – part of ENO’s exciting new partnership with Greater Manchester.
