A perennial favorite of the operatic canon and the third of W.A. Mozart’s collaborations with his best-known librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte, Così fan tutte showcases the best of both collaborators’ work: humor, intrigue, and a touch of pathos. Così fan tutte continues our investigation of opera as a living form and is part of our ongoing commitment to reimagining operatic language. In this new production, directed by Cate Pisaroni and conducted by Abdiel Vázquez, the familiar tale is reimagined through a polyamorous and design-driven lens—a contemporary exploration of love as process rather than verdict.
Pisaroni transforms Mozart’s experiment in fidelity into an open, emotionally intelligent study of connection, self-construction, and fluid identity, set within a minimalist world inspired by Bauhaus geometry and Lars von Trier’s Dogville. The result is both a homage to Mozart’s wit and a bold re-examination of intimacy, transparency, and the human desire to design the boundaries of love.
Una de las óperas más queridas de Mozart, Così fan tutte regresa en una nueva producción dirigida por Cate Pisaroni y conducida por Abdiel Vázquez. Esta reinterpretación contemporánea transforma la historia en una exploración de las relaciones abiertas, la identidad y las múltiples formas del amor, dentro de un universo visual inspirado en la geometría Bauhaus y el minimalismo teatral. El resultado es una mirada fresca y provocadora sobre la intimidad, el deseo y los límites emocionales que construimos.
