About
Mozart’s original thoughts recreated and recorded for the first time.
Synopsis Ferrando and Guglielmo – two friends – are in love with sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella. Don Alfonso – an associate of Ferrando and Guglielmo – is increasingly frustrated by their naïvety in love. Alfonso has greater experience of the world and is conscious that relationships can change. He suggests a game to prove his point – a game in which Ferrando and Guglielmo become two of Alfonso’s imaginary friends. Alfonso with the help of Despina introduces Ferrando and Guglielmo in their new guise to Fiordiligi and Dorabella, who do not recognise their lovers. Let the game begin…!
A summary of Così fan tutte chosen by the director, Bernard Rozet
Tutti accusan le donne, ed io le scuso se mille volte al dì cangiano amore; altri un vizio lo chiama, ed altri un uso, ed a me par necessità del core. L’amante che si trova alfin deluso non condanni l’altrui, ma il proprio errore; già che giovani, vecchie, e belle, e brutte, ripetete con me: Così fan tutte.
Everyone accuses women, but I forgive them even if a thousand times a day they change their minds in love; some call it a vice and others a habit, but for me it’s a necessity of the heart. The lover who finds himself betrayed shouldn’t blame others, it’s just his own mistake; whether they’re young, old, beautiful or ugly, repeat after me: Così fan tutte.

Reviews
“Generally this is an accomplished, musically sensitive performance given by a young cast containing some potential future stars, all of them possessing voices of some quality.”
Opera magazine – June 2019
Performance *** Recording ***
“The young singers acquit themselves well. Nazan Fikret projects bell-like vocal clarity in ‘Come scoglio’, Héloïse Mas is commendably secure in ‘Smanie implacabili’, and Alexander Sprague performs with buffa-esque panache throughout…Like the plot of Cosí, this new version is an interesting ‘experiment’, but as with the original there are unsettling results.”
Anthony Pryer – BBC Music magazine – March 2019
“… Recorded live at 2014 performances by the European Opera Centre, it offers accomplished and youthful performances from its cast, and enjoyably propulsive conducting from Laurent Pillot.” ***
Francis Muzzu - Classical Music magazine – February 2019
“Pillot conducts with superb energy and grace, and there’s some elegant playing from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, whose woodwind sound [is] particularly lovely here. The student ensemble cast is similarly strong…best of all, perhaps, is Biagio Pizzuti’s Guglielmo, his voice warm and mature, his characterisation wonderfully subtle: he’s as good as, if not better than, many big-name singers who have recorded the role…Anyone who cares about Cosí should hear this.”
Tim Ashley – Gramophone magazine – February 2019
