Offering much more than mere light-hearted diversion, W. A. Mozart’s Così fan tutte provides a vehicle for the
soaring arias and luminous duets and ensemble pieces that form the heart and soul of an engaging and durable
masterpiece that raises piquant social issues as well as filling our concert hall with magnificent music.
In Così, our six vibrant, polished voices melodically recount the connivings of Guglielmo (Darrell Babidge)
and Ferrando (Thomas Glenn) as they test the fidelity of fiancées Fiordiligi (Erin McOmber) and Dorabella
(Lauren Groff) amidst the lighthearted machinations of Despina (Jennie Litster) and the cynical Don Alfonso
(Tyler Oliphant). Presented as a compact, fully narrated concert adaptation. Pianist Amy Glenn accompanies.
