Mozart's genius in setting to music Da Ponte's comic
play of love, infidelity and forgiveness marks Così fan
tutte as one of the great works of art from the Age of
Enlightenment. Nicholas Hytner's beautiful production
for the Glyndebourne Festival in 2006, with its sure
touch and theatrical know-how, lives up to its
promise to be 'shockingly traditional', while Iván
Fischer teases artful performances from an
outstanding international cast of convincing young
lovers.

Insights with Iván Fischer, Nicholas Hytner and
members of the cast

‘When I saw this production at Glyndebourne, I thought
that it was one of the three perfect operatic
performances that I have ever been to. That view is only
strengthened by seeing this marvellous DVD, which does
the fullest justice to the brilliance of Nicholas Hytner’s
production, and the glorious orchestral playing and the
magnificent singing under Iván Fischer.’
