Così fan tutte, an Opera by Mozart – PAID EVENT

A Tale of Surviving a Devious Love Experiment

An old philosopher wagers on the absence of absolutely faithful love, dares two young soldiers into relentlessly pursuing each other’s fiancée, disguised as foreign merchants. To the two dimwit’s horror, it doesn’t take long for the ladies to fall for the merchants and be wed! As the wedding approaches, will the men’s otherwise shattered love pull through?

As a result of the project Petruzzelli in Residence, carried out by Hong Kong Grand Opera, Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari and Italian Cultural Institute Hong Kong and featuring a series of masterclasses conducted by the Tetaro Petruzzelli’s teachers, the Mozart’s last comic opera Così fan tutte will be performed by the artists after having attended the acting and singing classes programme. The project fosters the transfer of knowledge from the prestigious Italian opera theatre and its masters to the new generation of Hong Kong opera students and performers.
