Even those who have experienced Mozart's "Così fan tutte" in various productions will not remember any female Don Alfonso. But the guest performance of the Munich Chamber Opera in the Cuvilliés Theater makes it possible. Since no replacement could be found for the sick Frederik Tucker, the assistant director Anna-Lu Rausch played in a black baggy suit, a loose tie and a top hat, while Philipp Gaiser sang from the sheet music to the side. Otherwise a rather cynical mastermind, you now saw a mixture of sad clown and Marlene Dietrich, who often looked on in amazement and with a sphinx-like smile as she watched the experiment of the loyalty test, which in the second act almost tipped from comedy to tragedy.
