Mozart's delightful comic opera "Cosi fan Tutte" contains some of his most ravishing music. Supposedly based on a true story, the opera tells how the wily Don Alfonso sets out to prove that it is against a woman's nature to be faithful - "cosi fan tutte" - "all women are alike". In order to win his bet he persuades two young men to try, in disguise, to court each others' girl friend. Through the unfolding of the opera we see just how well he succeeds...

"...always attractive and sparkling...
the recitatives flowed crisp and clear."
