Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. After a late night drinking session, two young officers wager on the constancy of their girlfriends, who are sisters. They don't simply lose the bet; in director Johannes Schaafs bittersweet production for the Royal Opera, the emotional worlds of four young people are turned upside down for ever. In the interval Germaine Greer presents a personal view of the opera.
