Così fan tutte listing on Broadway Baby

A test of fidelity leads to deception, seduction and surprises in Mozarts collaboration with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte.

This satirical fable about love and trust unfolds in 18th-century Naples, with a cast of unruly characters who interrogate the absurd logic of desire. A weekends worth of romantic entanglements and false identities ensue as the maverick Don Alfonso seeks to prove his unstable hypothesis that women cannot be trusted.

Swinging between wit and sincerity, Cos fan tutte was Mozarts third and final collaboration with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte. The score is one of the composers most varied, with iconic ensemble numbers " one of which involves a doctor with magnetic healing powers " contrasting with heartfelt arias such as Un aura amorosa and Per piet.

After last year's acclaimed The Magic Flute, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus, along with their Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev, further their exploration of Mozart's operas. In this remarkable rendition of one of Mozarts most varied scores, a remarkable cast of singers join the SCO and Chorus, including the hauntingly mesmerising (The Scotsman) Golda Schultz.

Cos fan tutte is performed as an opera in concert, with a maximalist approach to vocals, and a minimalist approach to costume and set design. Learn more about operas in concert.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
