Following a bet, two young men disguise themselves and attempt to seduce each other’s girlfriends with unexpected and comical results. The lovers learn, in director Jan Philipp Gloger’s words, that ‘love is not a Godgiven thing, but something that we have to fight for, find, define, create and dream newly, almost every day’.

Mozart’s beautiful score contains some of the composer’s most attractive arias and is packed with humour. In the 19th century many viewed its plot as immoral or even cruel. However, since the second half of the 20th century its wonderful music and Mozart and librettist Da Ponte’s witty, compassionate examination of young love have ensured its lasting popularity.
