Così fan tutte Mozart
Nuova Vocal Arts

Mozart’s Comedy of Love, Loyalty, and Letting Go

Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte
Premiered 1790 in Vienna

Directed by Rob Herriot
Conducted by Gordon Gerrard

Approximate Running Time: 2 hours 55 minutes

Mozart’s sparkling comedy about love and human nature unfolds against the breathtaking backdrop of the Canadian wilderness. In NUOVA Vocal Arts’ 2026 Festival production, Così fan tutte is reimagined at an elegant 1930s resort hotel on the edge of untamed landscape – where romance is as unpredictable as the frontier itself.

Playful, stylish, and surprisingly modern, this production explores the delicate balance of trust, temptation, and self-discovery. Beneath its wit lies a profound meditation on vulnerability, forgiveness, and the art of laughing at ourselves.

Under the direction of Rob Herriot, with musical leadership by Gordon Gerrard, NUOVA’s emerging artists bring fresh vitality and emotional nuance to Mozart’s masterwork.
