Opera buffa in two acts (1790)
New Production! A top-flight cast features in a new staging of Mozart and Da Ponte’s comic masterpiece of love, trust and the fickleness of human behaviour from acclaimed director Robert Carsen.
As part of a bet with Don Alfonso (Gerald Finley), Ferrando and Guglielmo (Giovanni Sala and Luca Micheletti) must try to seduce each other’s fiancées, Fiordiligi and Dorabella (Elsa Dreisig and Nina van Essen). When both yield, and the ruse is revealed, all four must reckon with the fallout.
Tackling Mozart’s exquisite and nuanced music is British conductor Alexander Soddy, much in demand at Covent Garden, the Metropolitan, and the Staatsoper of Vienna and Berlin.
