Portland Opera presents Così fan tutte - Portland Opera
A deliciously ironic look at the foibles of love. We begin with two sisters, their fiancés, and a bet—Will the women be faithful? “Of course,” brag the men. “Nay,” says the cynical Don Alfonso. Thus we enter a world of disguises and trickery in which the women—and Love itself—are put to the test. And you can bet we’ll be on their side every step of the way! Mozart’s genius turns a farce into a scintillating blend of thought provoking humor.
The perfect opera for those who prefer their laughter sandwiched with a slice of wry.

A deliciously ironic look at the foibles of love. We begin with two sisters, their fiancés, and a bet—Will the women be faithful? “Of course,” brag the men. “Nay,” says the cynical Don Alfonso.

The perfect opera for those who prefer their laughter sandwiched with a slice of wry.
