Così fan tutte

by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart · Melbourne Opera’s Richard Divall Program

Set in a Bridgerton-esque Regency world, Così fan tutte follows two young officers who accept a wager: prove their fiancées will stay faithful, or lose everything. Disguised as strangers, they set out to seduce each other’s lovers, egged on by the worldly maid Despina. It’s sensuous, riotously funny, and packed with some of Mozart’s most glorious music.
We’re thrilled to welcome Tessa McKenna as Dorabella, joining the rising stars of the Richard Divall Program with the Melbourne Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conducted by Raymond Lawrence and directed by Suzanne Chaundy.
