2023 Season
NZ Opera Presents:
31 May – 2 July 2023
COSÌ FAN TUTTE
By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte
With:
The New Zealand Opera Chorus, Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, Orchestra Wellington and Christchurch Symphony Orchestra
Quirky farce, romantic tragicomedy, philosophical treatise on the nature of young love – Mozart and da Ponte’s enduring classic Così fan tutte is all that and more.
A satirical love story that takes a wry look at men and women against a backdrop of disguises, false goodbyes, and deceptions.
Any opera that translates broadly as: “All women are like that!” must be fertile territory for a female-led creative team to bring a fresh lens to this popular opera.
Underpinning all of this is Mozart’s beautiful score – perhaps his most radiant of all.
Join us for New Zealand Opera’s mainscale production of the year.
