the story
So do they all , or L'École des amants (in French in the text) is a variant on the theme of lovers put to the test. In 18th century Naples, two young men sure of the fidelity of the two sisters to whom they are betrothed, place a bet with one of their bachelor friends who does not give a lot of female fidelity. Thus, in a role-playing game where each court the other's fiancée, Don Alfonso's prediction seems to come true... Wanted by Mozart, this contemporary scenario on an ordinary subject has earned the work a century of purgatory before entering the great repertoire. Così is not a succession of tunes but a continuous soundtrack tuned to the clarity of Da Ponte's libretto. This is perhaps the whole “sublimity” of the work as Reynaldo Hahn called it. Sublimity, key word for a masterpiece.

What they say
If the question of fidelity, or rather the testing of fidelity, makes sense to you, then come see and listen to Così fan tutte. This masterpiece by Mozart and Da Ponte begins, between men, with an argument from which a very risky bet will arise: "And if I were to demonstrate to you today that your women, faced with the temptation of desire , will only be able, like all the others, to yield? ". Three men and three women are on stage. A real reality TV game! An island of temptation or a variant of Adam and Eve in a way! But better written, and revealed to our eyes and ears with genius this time. But back to our couples, so there are three. One who already seems to have a heavy history and two at the start of a relationship that is still looking for itself. The first couple establish themselves as masters of the game, the other two will be the subjects of the experiment. This will allow us after a few wanderings to go back home to go back to sea. Aren't we in Naples, port city, after all? And aren't they sailors and soldiers? Our warriors of love, caught in the turmoil of their shaky certainties, after having sailed on sight, will have to face the facts, playing with fire we burn ourselves, because So do all of them .
