Relationships are difficult! The Minnesota Opera prepares for Mozart’s 'Cosi fan tutte'

Interview: Minnesota Opera presents 'Così Fan Tutte'

Is our love true — or is it just a show? When two couples set out to answer this question, a reckless wager and some truly questionable decision-making lead to a whirlwind of temptation and chaos — what could possibly go wrong? With a masterful score by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Così fan tutte presents an eye-opening, honest look at the fickle nature of love, fidelity and the complex dynamics of human relationships.

Host Steve Staruch speaks with three members of the production’s cast; soprano Kylie Kreucher, tenor Ángel Vargas and soprano Lindsay Ohse, as well as director Doug Sholz-Carlson, in preparation for opening night on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. Listen to their conversation through the player above, as well as a sneak peek of their performances in the videos below, recorded here at Minnesota Public Radio’s Maud Moon Weyerhauser studio. Make sure not to miss this exciting opening for the Minnesota Opera’s 25-26 season!

Act II Duet: Fra gli amplessi with Ferrando and Dorabella

Act I Aria: In uomini with Despina
