Così fan tutte has lost none of its sting since it first scandalised audiences in 1790. In her Main Stage debut, Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, reimagines Mozart's comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit.

The cast is led by Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall as the lovers, with Gerald Finley as the manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts, drawing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the opera's provocative and resolutely modern themes.
