Così fan tutte Mozart

Public

Approved

Opera, at its best, is musical storytelling.  Mozart had already established himself as a composer who excelled at this artform when Così fan tutte had its premiere.  After the Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni, Così was the third collaboration between clergyman-turned bad boy-turned poet Lorenzo da Ponte and the brilliant young Mozart. From Fiordiligi’s famous virtuosic aria “Come Scoglio,” where she declares herself to be ‘like a rock” against any impropriety, to the sextet at the end of act one, “Dammi un baccio” where the gentlemen in disguise ‘ask for a kiss’ from their opposite fiancée through sweet, romantic, and amusing musical lines, Mozart never fails to put us, listeners, right into the middle of the emotion in question with his musical creativity.  Witty opera plot aside, when we get treated to hearing the trio“Soave sia il vento” (be gentle winds), we hear the pathos of simplicity at which Mozart excelled, as if we were smiling through our tears.
