The Royal Opera, Royal Opera Chorus

German director Jan Philipp Gloger makes his Royal Opera and UK debut with a new staging of Mozart’s complex and subtle comedy Così fan tutte alongside conductor Semyon Bychkov with a cast of young and up-and-coming talent including American soprano Corinne Winters.

Jan Philipp Gloger's new production of Così fan tutte plays on the Shakespearean idea of the world as a stage, and is set in a theatre. Don Alfonso, sung by leading German baritone Johannes Martin Kränzle making his Royal Opera debut, is a stage director who puts the pairs of lovers into situations that make them consider the question ‘what is love?. Russian conductor Semyon Bychkov returns to The Royal Opera to conduct his first Mozart score for the company.
