Mozart’s Così fan tutte
The last of Mozart’s legendary collaborations with librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, this exuberant comedy of manners and morals tracks an ill-conceived bet about women’s fidelity and the darkly hilarious fall-out it produces. The master composer lines his score with one sublime musical number after another, and ultimately manages to communicate universal truths about both women and men, and the nature of attraction and love, even as the laughs keep coming.

Susanna Phillips, Isabel Leonard, Matthew Polenzani, and Rodion Pogossov are the quartet of young lovers in Mozart’s comedy of disguise, deception, and decorum, with Danielle de Niese as Despina and Maurizio Muraro as Don Alfonso.

『ボエーム』でMuset役だった人(Susanna Phillips、ソプラノ)が主人公。ワーグナーが酷評していた(by wiki)というのもわかるあらすじ(人を試してはいけない)。実際は、なかなか複雑になっていて面白い。
