Idéale audience
Cosi Fan Tutte
Multi-award winning Austrian director Michael Haneke (Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, three Palme d’Or awards at Cannes, etc.) here directs his second opera, Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte, at the Teatro Real, Madrid, and unanimously hailed by the critics for its beauty, intelligence, and the excellent quality of the youthful cast. Haneke took his directorial scalpel to Da Ponte’s libretto, and stripped it down to leave only its disenchanted take on love and fidelity. In the magnificent ancient palace of Don Alfonso, with its resolutely contemporary décor, Haneke unfolds the story of a triple betrayal.
