Così fan tutte Mozart
Opéra de Lausanne
Lausanne, Switzerland

CANADIANS: Robert Gleadow (Guglielmo)

Text is from the Opéra de Lausanne website.

No other of Mozart’s opera’s spoke of love so humanly, closely, purely and bitterly
In the school of love, the learning curve is steep: Don Alfonso teaches that a faithful woman is “as rare as a phoenix”. This is what he is bent on proving Ferrando, Dorabella’s fiancé, and Guglielmo, Fiordiligi’s fiancé. The lesson of this imbroglio is simple: “The happy man looks at the bright side of everything!”
