Despina
Cosi fan tutte
Chautauqua Opera
Are women fundamentally unfaithful? Can men be trusted? Two young lovers wager that their fiancées’ will remain steadfast no matter what tempts them. The boastful men then do everything they can to lead the young ladies astray. Sparkling melodies, farcical situations and deep emotions characterize Mozart and Da Ponte’s delicious “Battle of the Sexes.” |
