In his first Academy Concert at the Bavarian State Opera in 2020, Vladimir Jurowski, then designated General Music Director, combined works by Mozart and Bruckner. Now he is conducting Così fan tutte , the first Mozart opera as GMD. Vladimir Jurowski and Australian theater and film director Benedict Andrews are working together for the first time on the new production – it is also a house debut for Andrews. He has recently devoted himself more to his film projects: Seberg with Kristen Stewart, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2019, and before that Unastarring Rooney Mara, which screened at the 2016 Telluride Film Festival. As in-house director at the Sydney Theater Company and later at the Schaubühne Berlin, Benedict Andrews increasingly staged new drama and British drama. There and at the Young Vic in London, he has already worked with set designer Magda Willi, among others for Blackbird by David Harrower, Endstation Sehnsucht and A streetcar named desire  by Tennessee Williams, Savedby Edward Bond and several plays by Marius von Mayenburg. He has also worked with costume designer Victoria Behr, who was named costume designer of the year several times in the Theater magazine critics’ survey, for houses such as the Young Vic Theater in London, the Royal Opera in Copenhagen, the Komische Oper Berlin and the Nationale Opera Amsterdam and the English National Opera.

 Nothing is forever. And people make mistakes. And yet letting go is the hardest exercise when you're burning with love for the first time and want nothing more than to hold on to it forever. But can you feel as intensely forever as you did at the beginning? Così fan tutte in the new production by Benedict Andrews deals with the exuberant feelings that drive young love in the rush of hormones. Sometimes she touches on the fringes of human relationships, where one threatens to lose oneself in the search for intensity. Mozart's opera from 1790 would not be as important to this day if he did not negotiate the instability of it all. The two young couples, who believe they have already discovered the essence of true love, meet two experienced opponents in Don Alfonso and Despina. An experiment begins in which the men test their partners' loyalty through a dress-up game. What remains is disillusionment. And the possibility of a painful realization: only freedom and the longing for union are certain. Disappointment and rejection are part of the game - because no love is ideal..
