Così fan tutte - Salzburger Festspiele 2020
As Christof Loy put it: Così fan tutte invites us to embrace the complexity of life and face the future with heads held high. In his staging of the version he abridged with Joana Mallwitz for the Salzburg Festival 2020 the focus is wholly on the figures and the subtle choreography of their emotional states — in a space that like a magnifying glass exposes the intricate mechanisms between the characters. In this way the production leads the protagonists and the audience to experience the ‘serene calm’ that can perhaps indeed cure our own ‘distempers’.
Director: Michael Beyer
Cast: Elsa Dreisig, Marianne Crebassa, Andrè Schuen, Bogdan Volkov, Lea Desandre
