Così fan tutte Mozart

Two men want to test the fidelity of their wives and make a bet that they will stand firm. The women have to fend off violent attacks from the men, who in the end bring down the fortress of their loyalty. But the men, as part of the experiment, did not expect that they, too, could be unfaithful to their wives and their feelings. Cheating, confusing, lying - to others and to oneself - is grotesquely funny and cruel at the same time. Some worry less about the new situation (Guglielmo and Dorabella), others struggle to the point of exhaustion (Fiordiligi and Ferrando). The closing ceremony is intended to cement the social status quo and bring the new freedom to its knees. But the marriage is only a sham, and beneath the surface of tradition rumbles.

Zwei Männer wollen die Treue ihrer Frauen prüfen und gehen eine Wette ein, dass sie standhaft bleiben. Die Frauen müssen sich heftigen Attacken der Männer erwehren, die die Festung ihrer Treue am Ende doch noch zu Fall bringen. Aber die Männer, als beteiligte Elemente des Experiments, haben nicht damit gerechnet, dass auch sie ihren Frauen und ihren Gefühlen untreu werden könnten. Das Betrügen, Verwirren, Belügen - der anderen und sich selbst - ist grotesk komisch und grausam zugleich. Die einen machen sich eher weniger Gedanken über die neue Lage (Guglielmo und Dorabella), die anderen ringen bis zur Erschöpfung darum (Fiordiligi und Ferrando). Die Schlusszeremonie soll den gesellschaftlichen status quo zementieren und zwingt die neue Freiheit in die Knie. Doch die Heirat ist nur Schein, und unter der Oberfläche der Tradition rumort es.
