Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Così fan tutte Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte Production from Seattle Opera The School for Deceptive Lovers is now in session. What determines true love? Is it faithfulness or simply circumstance? Mozart’s whimsical Così fan tutte is the wry tale of two young men who place a bet on fidelity, putting the women they love to the test through deception and seduction… What could possibly go wrong? In this sometimes farcical, sometimes unsettling comedy, the men pretend to go off to war but return in disguise, each intent on seducing the other’s lady. But when the women don’t react as expected, a lesson in tempting fate is learned by all, and the fickle nature of love and attraction is revealed. Domingo-Cafritz Young Artists star in the Mar. 9 and 11 performances: María Eugenia Antúnez (Fiordiligi), Sarah Mesko (Dorabella), Gregory Warren (Ferrando), Aleksey Bogdanov (Guglielmo), Kenneth Kellogg (Don Alfonso), and Jegyung Yang (Despina).
