Sunday, April 27, 1 p.m., Orcas Center
— from Artha Kass —
Cosi Fan Tutte, Mozart’s beloved opera about testing the ties of love, streams live in HD from the Metropolitan Opera to Orcas Center on Sunday, April 27 at 1:00 pm.
If you’ve seen or heard The Magic Flute at Orcas Center or elsewhere, you’ll be familiar with the joy and beauty of Mozart’s music. For an afternoon of this glorious music and live great singer/actors, come to Orcas Center and experience Cosi Fan Tutte on the Big Screen. You’re in for a joyous few hours. Bring the family!
A vibrant young cast brings Mozart’s comedy to life in this charmingly traditional production. And James Levine is solidly back on the podium.
In 18th Century Naples a wager is proposed to two young officers by their cynical friend, who is sure all women, especially their girlfriends, are unfaithful. Amused, the young men agree. And so the comedy and glorious music begin – disguises, lovers’ quarrels, games, hidden identities and more!
“Glowing, crisp and buoyant…the winning cast performed like a crack comedic theatre troupe.”
—The New York Times
