Mozart: Cosi fan tutte (ROH)

The new Royal Opera Season begins with a great audience favourite -- both in opera and in its production. This great comedy with an edge brings a classic score by Mozart to a witty story of deception and trust tested to its limit. Can two apparently faithful couples have their affections altered by some apparently harmless deception? Jonathan Miller's ever-popular production updates the 18th-century to today -- while fashions and technology may have changed since Mozart's time, human behaviour remains as fickle and manipulative as ever. Royal Opera favourite Thomas Allen returns in a strong cast of singers under acclaimed German conductor Thomas Hengelbrock.

The title may suggest that it is the way of women to behave this way -- 'such is the way they are' -- but then it seems to be true of the men too. In this most sophisticated of operas with the most sublime of scores, no-one escapes unscathed.
