The School for Lovers (Così fan tutte)

Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte
Premiered January 26, 1790, Burgtheater, Vienna, Austria

Gentle readers, take note: The School for Lovers (Così fan tutte) follows two couples through an experiment in trust, temptation, and how easily we test and deceive one another in the name of love. Set in the Regency era, this production leans into both the sparkle and the sting of Mozart’s comedy, revealing the casual harms we justify, the vulnerabilities we’d rather hide, and the strength women summon when expectations are stacked against them. Filled with luminous arias and Mozart’s unmistakable warmth and brilliance, The School for Lovers reminds us that even centuries later, we’re still figuring out what it means to love well.
