Cosi Fan Tutte November 17, 2010

Renowned baroque specialist William Christie will make his Metropolitan Opera debut conducting a revival of Mozart's 'Cosi fan tutte.' The production will star Miah Persson and Isabel Leonard as sisters and unwitting fiance-swappers Fiordiligi and Dorabella; Danielle de Niese as their shrewd maid Despina; Pavol Breslik and Nathan Gunn as their dubious lovers, Ferrando and Guglielmo; and William Shimell as the cynical middle-aged bachelor Don Alfonso, who enlists the younger men in a scheme to prove that "all women are like that."
