Mozart's genius in setting to music Da Ponte's comic play of love, infidelity and forgiveness marks Così fan tutte as one of the great works of art from the Age of Enlightenment. Nicholas Hytner's beautiful new production, with its sure touch and theatrical know-how, lives up to its promise to be 'shockingly traditional', while Iván Fischer teases artful performances from an outstanding international cast of convincing young lovers. Recorded using High Definition cameras and with true surround sound.

 

‘Dressed in shades of sand and stone by Vicki Mortimer, and bathed in summer light by Paule Constable, Hytner’s period production marries elegance, farce and psychological acuity.’

The Independent

 

‘…an evening of Mozartian magic… a staging that cries out to be revisited.’

Sunday Times

 

‘I had to search long and hard down memory lane to recall a Cosi that so vividly revealed both the pleasure and the overwhelming pain of this evermore disturbing masterpiece, and I failed.’ Opera
