Così fan tutte at Komische Oper Berlin

In Mozart’s action-packed psychological drama Così fan tutte fidelity is put to the test. Two young couples are forced to acknowledge that there are no guarantees when it comes to love.

By employing paintings from the rococo period in his staging, Alvis Hermanis - one of the most versatile dramatic innovators of our day - establishes a bridge between us and the iridescent eroticism of Mozart’s time. An archaeology of sentiment sheds fresh light on this disturbing and liberating work. “A compelling duet of research and poetry.” [Der Tagesspiegel]
