The latest of our Scottish Opera: On Screen collection of films, enjoy a brand new production of Mozart’s gleeful dissection of the highs and lows of young love, Così fan tutte, filmed at Glasgow’s Theatre Royal in a concert performance with a twist.

Two sisters, their lovers, and a man with a point to prove about fickle young couples… Social experiment? Reality TV show? Director Roxana Haines (La bohème, Fox-tot!) reimagines Mozart’s exuberant comedy of infidelities as a game for today, in which lovers’ loyalties are put to the ultimate test.

Scottish Opera’s four 2020/21 Emerging Artist singers – soprano Catriona Hewitson, mezzo-soprano Margo Arsane, tenor Shengzhi Ren and baritone Arthur Bruce – take central roles, alongside Charlie Drummond (Emerging Artist 2019/20) and Jette Parker Young Artist Michael Mofidian. Music Director Stuart Stratford conducts The Orchestra of Scottish Opera and chorus.

Sharp and witty, yet full of humanity, Mozart’s sparkling score captures the foursome’s joys and heartaches in some of his most captivating music.
