A fresh take on love, deception & disguise.
This visually stunning new production of Mozart’s Così fan tutte from Nevill Holt Festival and Opera North, brings you a world where nothing is quite as it seems. Love, loyalty, and control are put to the test. Directed by Cecilia Stinton, this reimagined classic explores shifting perspectives and hidden truths—leaving us questioning: Who’s really in control? Who’s watching whom?
When the cunning Don Alfonso challenges two young couples to test their love, a whirlwind of mischief, disguises, and seduction ensues. Can love withstand temptation, or will the bet prove that faithfulness is just an illusion?
Under the baton of Chris Hopkins, this production brings Mozart’s exquisite score to life, featuring a stellar cast.
