Così fan tutte

Così fan tutte contains some of Mozart’s most sublime music. On one level, the opera is purely a social anecdote about young people falling in and out of love; but Mozart was a supreme sensualist and a great humanist, and invested the tale with all his understanding of humanity and young love. 

In this title, David Timson refutes the charge that Mozart squandered his genius on a work full of trivial nonsense and proves this “miraculous yet problematic” opera to be a great work of theater. Listening to this thought-provoking examination of the opera’s characters and music is both thoroughly enriching and great fun.
