DRESS REHEARSAL: Così fan tutte

    Palais Garnier

    19h30

Enter the heart of the creation and discover the artists at work!
The Paris National Opera offers Arop members the privilege of observing the work of the artists and the genesis of a production at different times: work sessions, pre-dress rehearsals and dress rehearsals.

Così fan tutte

Why choose between music and dance? In Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's version of Così fan tutte, the two are intimately linked. Pairing each singer with a dancer, the Belgian choreographer, founder of the Rosas company, reveals the sinuosities of desire and the attractions between bodies in the course of the amorous chassé-croisé composed by Mozart with his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. For their third collaboration after The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni, the two partners adopt a story with vaudeville overtones. Devoid of illusions concerning human nature, Don Alfonso decides to test the fidelity of women: their fiancés pretend to go to war and return to seduce them using new identities. The gaiety of the score gives way to muted anxiety: is this a farewell to the ideals of youth or the end of a world shattered in 1789, a year before the premiere of Così fan tutte
