Fri, 2013-05-24 19:30Mozart's Così fan tutte | English Touring OperaAnthony Gregory, English Touring Opera, James Burton, Kitty Whately, Laura Mitchell, Paul Higgins, Paula Sides, Richard Mosley-Evans, Toby GirlingCambridge Arts Theatre Cambridge CB2 3PLUnited Kingdom
The most perfect ensemble opera ever written, Cosi fan tutte is a comedy that hurts and blesses. The two pairs of innocent young lovers it describes may be foolish, bt they are also very attractive, especially when Mozart endows them with such beautiful songs.
In a day fiancés are parted, and new fiancés found: can it be believed? Anyone who has found that they are not quite the person they thought - anyone who recognises that strange, exciting, embarassing feeling - knows very well that it can.
ETO's new production, in period costume on an elegant, pastoral set, and sung in English, promises to deliver a tingle, a laugh and a tear, and a memory of youth.
- Cosi fan tutte
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
