Synopsis

Madness abounds in Mozart's surprisingly modern comedy of love, betrayal and unconvincing disguises. Spoiled sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella are put to the test when their fiancés Guglielmo and Ferrando make a bet with their friend, the worldly and cynical Don Alfonso, that their women will always be faithful to them. But will the temptation prove too great? Add Despina, the girls' scheming employee, into the mix along with some truly magnificent moustaches, and the stage is set for a hilarious series of mishaps and misunderstandings.

Duration: Approx. 150 min including an interval.
