BBC Radio 3 - Opera on 3, Mozart's Cosi fan tutte

From the Royal Opera House, a new production of Mozart's comic opera Cosi fan tutte.

From the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, a new production of Mozart's comic opera Cosi fan tutte. With soprano Corinne Waters, mezzo Angela Brower and tenor Daniel Behle.

Presented by Mary King. A recording made last month of Mozart's Cosi fan tutte in a new production by Jan Philipp Gloger, who set this piquant comedy about fidelity, disguise and the true nature of love as theatre within theatre. Young Ferrando and Guglielmo take the bet set by Don Alfonso who believes their lovers, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, are 'like all women' and will not be faithful if better suitors come their way. Semyon Bychkov conducts the orchestra and chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, with a cast of young singers mostly making their house debuts. The soprano Corinne Waters is Fiordiligi; the mezzo-soprano Angela Brower, Dorabella; the tenor Daniel Behle, Ferrando and the baritone Alessio Arduini, Guglielmo. Don Alfonso is sung by the baritone Johannes-Martin Kraenzle, while Despina is the soprano Sabina Puertolas.
