Emerging Pictures' exclusive digital cinema opera series presents Mozart's COSI FAN TUTTE, performed at the Salzburg Festival, Austria and directed by Claus Guth.
Don Alfonso, a confirmed bachelor, makes a bet on women’s fidelity with Ferrando and Guglielmo, two engaged young military officers. If they agree to give him one day and do everything he asks, Alfonso will prove that their fiancées, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, are fickle and unfaithful like all other women. The girls are told that their men have been ordered to the front line, and are encouraged by Despina, their chambermaid, to find new lovers. Despina introduces them to two Albanian men (Ferrando and Guglielmo in disguise) and the men proceed to passionately woo the other’s betrothed. At first the girls spurn their advances, but many twists and turns later, they fall for their new admirers and actually marry them. In the end, the girls realize they’ve been duped, but all is forgiven as the men and women alike accept the capriciousness of human nature.
