Still as biting as when it scandalised audiences in 1790, Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, makes her Stage debut with a sharp contemporary reimagining of Mozart’s comedy of manners.
Thomas Hengelbrock conducts Mozart’s exquisite score, bringing fresh life to this provocative, modern comedy. Spurred on by a bet, two young men put their girlfriends’ fidelity to the test, unleashing a seductive game of love, power and shifting reality.
Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall lead the cast, with Gerald Finley as Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina.
