RBO 26/27: Così fan tutte

Two young men make a wager and devise a plan to test the faithfulness of their girlfriends. What follows is a dangerous game of seduction and power, in which the four lovers find themselves in a world where reality constantly shifts and truth slips further away.

Così fan tutte shocked audiences at its premiere in 1790 and remains equally provocative today. For her debut on the main stage, Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, offers a fresh interpretation of Mozart's comedy of manners.
