The Metropolitan Opera will broadcast to cinemas around the world a new staging of the Mozart's Così fan tutte, ossia La scuola degli amanti. On 31 March 2018 at 6.35 p.m. the Praha Cinema will show the live tranmission of this comic opera from the director's perspective.
Così fan tutte by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the best stage works of the Viennese classic, and at the same time the apotheosis of the comic opera. The only problem is that the ending of Così fan tutte is not the funniest one: it reveals a certain significant weakness of the main characters – betrayal. Two friends, Ferrando and Guglielmo (in these roles Ben Bliss and Adam Plachetka) decides to test their beloved ones. They tell their fiancées they are leaving for war, and then return dressed as Albanian soldiers, ready to do anything to seduce the lonely fiancées. Mr. Fiordiligi and Dorabella (in these roles Amanda Majeski and Serena Malfi), after a short resistance, allow themselves to be seduced, because – apparently – they all do that.
Mozart's comedy in the direction of Phelim McDermott will take place in the setting of the funfair at Coney Island, a revue theater and a small motel from the 1950s. David Robertson will conduct the orchestra. Fire-eaters, a woman with a beard and snake charmers will also appear on stage.
The presentation in the language of the original (Italian) with Polish subtitles takes about 3 hours and 45 minutes (including 1 break).
