Cosi Fan Tutte

“Everyone blames women, but I forgive them.
If they change their love
A thousand times a day;
Some call it a sin, others a habit,
But I say it’s a necessity of their heart.
The lover who finds that he’s been deceived
Should blame not others
But his own mistake”

Don Alfonso boastfully sings these words to his friends, Ferrando and Guglielmo, proudly celebrating the bet he has won against the two of them. The smug on his face grows even brighter when he calls for them to sing along with him; “Cosi Fan Tutte!”, which is popularly loosely translated “Women are all the same”.

COSI FAN TUTTE is a love story of note, romantic, yet absolutely hilarious. Directed by our charming CEO Marcus Desando, this production promises to treat its audiences to the lengths and depths of quality opera, with the beautiful singing and drama it brings forward.
