Williams Opera debuts with Cosi Fan Tutte02:07PM / Tuesday, May 05, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Williams College Department of Music presents the debut of Williams Opera with the first act of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, K. 688 on Saturday, May 16, at 8 p.m. in Chapin Hall on the Williams College campus.
This free event is open to the public.
Eric Kang ’09 will lead a full orchestra composed primarily of students. Williams Opera is a student-run organization begun this year by Richard McDowell '09, Augusta Caso '09, and Kang to bring operatic performance opportunities to students at Williams.
The opera, first performed in Vienna in January of 1790, is one of the composer’s three collaborations with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte. The story, set in 18th century Naples, opens with Don Alfonso's wager to Guglielmo and Ferrando that their young fiancées are no more trustworthy in matters of love than any other women. The men, each utterly assured of his own lover’s fidelity and certain of their victory, make a bet to test this theory.
The Don informs Fiordiligi and Dorabella that the men have been called away to war. Heartbroken but loyal, the girls together pledge their steadfast devotion—which is immediately put to the test when the men return, in disguise, to seduce the girls, and thus begins the plot to test a lover’s constancy and the true strength of love. Sometimes eerily serious and always entertaining, the story is imbued with deception, humor, and the capabilities of love, carried across in Mozart’s clear and beautiful musical language. |
