Sextet from "Cosi" "Alla bella despinetta..."

Don Alfonso has paid Despinetta to allow him to introduce two" good friends" from Turkey to meet the sisters Dorabella and Fiordiligi. He says they are wonderful and handsome men. They enter and meet the sisters. The exotic, considerably attractive, and moustached men promise undying love and beg for a kiss. This is all part of a bet made by Don Alfonso that under pressure, any woman will succomb to amorous temptation. So the sisters real boyfriends have pretended to go off to war, but instead they disguise themselves as Turks, return, and say they will die unless the girls return their love.
