Melbourne Opera: Così Fan Tutte

18 October @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm AEDT

Melbourne Opera remounts its 2025 production of Mozart’s bittersweet comedy for two performances only. Director Suzanne Chaundy reimagines Lorenzo Da Ponte’s 1790 Italian setting as a trip to 1960s Melbourne. Don Alfonso, here a cynical local bar and pizzeria owner on Lygon Street, challenges two young soldiers just back from Vietnam to test the fidelity of their Italian migrant girlfriends. Raymond Lawrence conducts the Melbourne Opera Chamber Orchestra and Chorus with a cast drawn from MO’s Richard Divall Emerging Artists Program.

Limelight Editor’s Choice


Back by popular demand: Così fan tutte returns to the Athenaeum 2, presented by the rising stars of Melbourne Opera’s Richard Divall Program with the Melbourne Opera Chorus and Orchestra. Set in a Bridgerton-esque Regency world, it’s the story of two officers who bet on their fiancées’ fidelity, then go undercover to test it. Sensuous, riotously funny, and packed with some of Mozart’s most beautiful music. Conducted by Raymond Lawrence and directed by Suzanne Chaundy, Classic Melbourne describes this production as one ”not to be missed”.
