Lorenzo da Ponte’s libretto for “Così fan tutte” with the significant subtitle “The School of Lovers” sets the story in Naples; however, it was said that it really took place in Trieste. Long criticised due to the lack of morals in the plot – two friends bet with the “philosopher” Don Alfonso about the fidelity of their fiancées and finally seduce each other’s brides – Mozart’s opera about exchanging partners, the weak minds of the sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella, and the painful realisation of their lovers Ferrando and Guglielmo is now considered one of the most felicitous examples of musical theatre. At the same time, it also concludes the brilliant Mozart/da Ponte trilogy.

Re: Cosi fan tutte / Mozart / Reduced prices

Do you like, have to wear a fancy evening dress or something?

Only time I was in an Opera was here:



I had to wear something very fancy, and walk on fancy 10 cm high-heels over flooded sidewalks... Somehow I associate Opera to this:

No, it's a Volksvorstellung for the poor people who have just two pair of trousers and one pair of shoes.

Re: Cosi fan tutte / Mozart / Reduced prices

Thank you for organising this. I would love a 70chf seat please, unless this is one of the theatres that actually has a better view from balcony seats, than from the front rows. I am happy with whatever you get , really.

What I meant is, that it's way too far ahead! March 2012! Acceptable long term plans are 1 week ahead at the most..

I will try to get some boxes which have most of the categories covered (P1/P3/P4/P5). This way we can all stay together more or less. Have a look at the 3D Ticketing, first floor, Loge 10 for example.

Or as MariaMaria would say: I can't make plans this far ahead because I could be dead by then.

She sounds like my mother. It's horrible trying to plan anything with mommy. Her answer to anything with more than 2 days of advance is always "I don't know if I'm alive then..."

It's exasperating!

I happen to have this cd and am going to listen to it every day.

I feel like Cinderella. I've never been to the opera.

Re: Cosi fan tutte / Mozart / Reduced prices

I looked in the web link, in the Order ticket, and it says "There is no data for the event"

Are the tickets already sold out?
and checking the other dates, the prices are much higher... are the prices correct?

If they are correct, coming +1, whatever category will be ok!

Thanks for organizing!

Re: Cosi fan tutte / Mozart / Reduced prices

For the so called "Volksvorstellungen" tickets will be available just 1 month in advance. On "3D Ticketing" you can see the seat categories. Feel free to subscribe.

Prices range from 15.- (P5) to 70.- (P1).

Re: Cosi fan tutte / Mozart / Reduced prices



Cavalleria Rusticana is very cool, I saw it in Milan a few years ago.

My absolute favorite is this, it was the first opera I saw as a kid many years ago, and the emotions never left me. Here in a wonderful version by Maria Callas.

This opera is coming back to Verona in Summer 2012 - as MariaMaria said, if I am alive, I shall be there! EF field trip?

Thankf Prof. for organizing!
