Cosi fan tutte

The Conservatoire de musique de Québec presents: Place à l’opéra! Come hear Cosi fan tutte by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with students from the singing classes of Hélène Guilmette, Sonia Racine and Réal Toupin as well as the Symphony Orchestra of the Conservatoire de musique de Québec.

Cosi fan tutte ossia la Scuola degli amanti (Women are like that, or The School for Lovers) – this is the exciting story of a bet launched by the old philosopher Don Alfonso to Ferrando and Guglielmo. Based on the premise that women are all unfaithful, he suggests that they put their fiancées, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, to the test. The young lovers pretend to go to war and return disguised to try to conquer the beauties.

With the help of the servant Despina, will they succeed in seducing them? Third and final collaboration between librettist Da Ponte and Mozart, it is a lively comedy into which the famous composer infuses all the depth of those eternal human feelings that are the hope of great love and the fear of being betrayed.
