Così fan tutte

Così fan tutte, ossia La Scuola degli amanti (Women are like That, or The School for Lovers) is Mozart’s two-act, Italian comic opera about the sexes.


This is tricky material for what was once tolerated, in the age of #MeToo has become unacceptable. You probably have to be “Latin” about it and don’t worry too much. Just enjoy, and do behave.
