The Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo is poised to enchant audiences with an exquisite rendition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s timeless classic, ‘Cosi Fan Tutte.’ This iconic comic opera, forming part of Mozart’s illustrious Mozart-Da Ponte trilogy, will come to life with an original staging by the talented Marcelo Lombardero. The performances, featuring the National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia, and the National Choir of Colombia, promise to be an unforgettable celebration of Mozart’s genius.
Mark your calendars for the opera nights on February 21, 23, and 25 at the Teatro Mayor, the internationally renown Bogotá venue that serves as the perfect backdrop for the exquisite musical journey orchestrated by Lombardero and his team.
Under the visionary direction of Argentine maestro Marcelo Lombardero, ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ takes a unique leap into the 1970s in the Río de la Plata. Lombardero’s creative vision infuses the production with vibrant costumes, giant butterflies, and a one-meter diameter heart, offering a fresh perspective on a timeless tale of love, fidelity, and deception.
Guiding the musical experience is Mexican conductor José Areán, whose expertise will bring Mozart’s compositions to life through the skilled performances of the National Symphony Orchestra of Colombia (OSNC) and National Choir of Colombia. This collaboration promises an immersive sonic experience that complements Lombardero’s innovative staging.
The production boasts a stellar cast featuring both national and international talents. Russian soprano Nina Solodovnikova, Colombian mezzo-soprano Paola Leguizamón, and Argentine bass Hernán Iturralde headline a roster of performers who will breathe life into Mozart’s characters with their exceptional vocal prowess and emotive storytelling.
Mozart’s ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ delves into the theme of infidelity, challenging the beliefs of two young officers and their fiancées. The libretto, crafted by Lorenzo Da Ponte, explores the complexities of love and fidelity in a comedic yet thought-provoking narrative set in Naples. The opera unfolds with humor, featuring disguises, seduction attempts, and Mozart’s signature blend of melody and emotion.
Lombardero’s stage design adds an extra layer of intrigue to the performance, set against the backdrop of a mobile television studio that evolves throughout the show. This dynamic setting, filled with groovy elements and colorful visuals, invites the audience to experience the opera from the perspective of a mobile camera.
