Così fan tutte - ROH(2020)

Così fan tutte is a Mozart opera that showcases some of the most beautiful arias and ensembles in the entire repertoire. Mozart and Da Ponte's witty, compassionate examination of young love balances pathos with humour, securing its enduring appeal. Jonathan Miller's 1995 production for the Royal Opera House became a London favourite, revived multiple times over the years. Faced with budget constraints, Miller made an inspired choice: he enlisted Giorgio Armani to design the costumes, elevating the visual elegance of the piece. This 2010 revival captures the production's signature blend of comedy and emotional depth, exploring themes of fidelity and desire through a masterclass in operatic storytelling.
