About the OPERA
This year, as the anchoring opera for Midtown Opera Festival 2020, Opera Memphis presents Mozart’s Così fan tutte. It is often said that love is blind and fickle as the people it possesses, but young Ferrando and Guglielmo and their fiancés Dorabella and Fiordiligi swear absolute trust, fidelity, and devotion to each other as they prepare to walk down the aisle… That is until the astute Don Alfonso presents the young men with an opportunity to test the bonds of love. Will Ferrando and Guglielmo choose to open this Pandora’s box on their relationships? Can their sweethearts surmount the challenges that they would inevitably face? Or will it all come crashing down upon them like so many tiers of wedding cake? Find out with this comedic romp through the hearts of men and women.
