Tim Albery’s acclaimed 2004 production of Cosi Fan Tutte for Opera North retains the original late 18th-century Naples setting, but the work’s potent theme of young love tested to breaking point remains timeless and universal. Its most recent run - it opened ON’s 2009 Autumn series - was greeted with rave reviews.
The Sunday Times hailed it as “a triumph… one of the most intelligent and beautifully crafted British Cosi‘s in years”, the Spectator marked it as “one of the tiny number of near-flawless accounts of a Mozart opera” and the Guardian found it “aesthetically ravishing”. Here is another chance to catch it.
Elizabeth Atherton and Victoria Sammonds renew their rôles as the faithful sisters, Fiordiligi and Dorabella respectively, and the wily sceptic, Don Alfonso, is once more taken by Geoffrey Dolton. As in September, Justin Doyle conducts. Sung in English.
9, 11 & 19 February, Grand Theatre, 46 New Briggate, LS1 6NZ, 0113 222 6222, 7pm, £10-£58
