Mozart's Cosi fan Tutte
Live from the Met - Act One
Saturday 28 January 2006 18:30-20:05 (Radio 3)
Mozart's most human of comedies is conducted by James Levine, with Alexandra Deshorties, Magdalena Kozená, Matthew Polenzani and Mariusz Kwiecien as the lovers. Presented from New York by Margaret Juntwait.
Guglielmo and Ferrando are so sure of their fiancées' fidelity that they're prepared to enter a bet with Don Alfonso to put them to the test. They disguise themselves in order to woo the other's girl, and a good-natured bet soon becomes much more serious and complicated.
