ABOUT
With a cast that perfectly combines youthful vigour, superb acting and stylish singing, this season promises to showcase a world class production and extraordinary performances married on the beautiful stage of His Majesty’s Theatre.
Since 1934 the summer opera festival at Glyndebourne in the UK has been celebrated for its productions of Mozart’s operas and none more so than Nicholas Hytner’s production of Così fan tutte. This production travels abroad to close off the WAO 2020 Season and we are proud to present it for you for the first time in Australia.
SUNG IN ITALIAN WITH ENGLISH SURTITLES
COSÌ FAN TUTTE is a Glyndebourne production, originally performed in the Glyndebourne Festival 2006.

This has all changed in the current COVID-19 environment and our season of Cosi fan tutte has adjusted accordingly. Fortunately, the pool of talent in WA is extraordinary and we are delighted to have a local cast available for WAO’s return to the stage at the home of opera, His Majesty’s Theatre. |
