Così Fan Tutte takes up online dating

By Caroline King - July 31, 2011Posted in : Theatre

Oyster Opera present Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte at Jacksons Lane, London When: 19th – 26th August 2011 at 8pm (Sunday 21st August at 3pm)

Where: Jacksons Lane, 269a Archway Road, London N6 5AA

£: 16.95 (concessions 12.95)

What is it?

Jacksons Lane teams up with internationally renowned Oyster Opera to present a fabulously witty adaptation of a classic Mozart opera with a contemporary twist, performed in a new English translation.

Inspired by the anonymity of online dating, Ferrando and Guglielmo take up their friend’s wager to test their girlfriends’ fidelity by masking their true identities.  When the couples meet in person, unknown to their unsuspecting lovers, the two men abandon their disguises.  Will their girlfriends decipher the web of deceit and stay faithful or will they be tempted by forbidden fruits?

Mirroring Mozart’s own experiences, Così Fan Tutte is a work of poignant beauty with all the hallmarks of a romantic comedy.  Whether an avid opera enthusiast or a first-timer, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience one of Mozart’s finest works in an intimate North London space.
