Così fan tutte

Così fan tutte at Volksoper Wien

With “Così fan tutte”, Volksoper Wien presents one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most refined and entertaining operas. This celebrated dramma giocoso, with a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, combines wit, elegance, and musical brilliance with a sharp and often bittersweet look at love, fidelity, and human weakness.

At the centre of the story are the young officers Guglielmo and Ferrando, who proudly insist on the faithfulness of their fiancées. Their older friend Don Alfonso, however, argues that constancy in love is never to be trusted. To prove his point, he persuades the two men to take part in a daring wager: disguised as foreign noblemen, they return to test the loyalty of the women they love. What begins as a playful challenge soon develops into a subtle web of temptation, deception, and unexpected emotions.

“Così fan tutte” is one of Mozart’s great masterpieces and continues to captivate audiences with its musical beauty, psychological depth, and ironic view of human relationships. Moving effortlessly between comedy and painful truth, the opera is far more than a story about romantic games – it is a timeless and intelligent study of human nature.

At Volksoper Wien, this remarkable work comes to life in a compelling production that highlights both the humour and the emotional complexity of the story. Performed in Italian with German and English surtitles, it offers a truly rewarding opera experience for both local and international audiences.
