Two high society men engaged to two high society women should spell a straightforward happily ever after. But the men cannot resist a bet laid by their cynical friend, setting in motion one hectic day of disguises, hijinks, and mischief-making. As the couples’ games of deception unfold upstairs, the servants downstairs find opportunities to puppeteer the rich and mighty, and this playful, privileged world soon reveals far headier truths of the heart.

This vibrant new staging forms part of our Advanced Artist Diploma in Opera, delivered in partnership with Scottish Opera. A hand‑picked group of exceptional international singers in the final stages of their training will perform alongside The Orchestra of Scottish Opera, conducted by celebrated period specialist John Butt. Directed by Rebecca Meltzer with designs by Kat Heath, Così fan tutte promises a colourful, stylish, and imaginative interpretation of Mozart and Da Ponte’s sparkling social satire.
