Saturday, May 27 at the Met: Live in HD presents Cosi fan tutte at The Beacon Theatre
The last in this year’s series of co-presentations by the LDAC and The Beacon Theatre is Mozart’s masterpiece Cosi fan tutte, broadcast on Sunday, May 27 at 1 p.m. sharp. A winning cast comes together for a clever vision of Mozart’s comedy about the sexes, set in a carnival environment inspired by 1950s Coney Island. Christopher Maltman plays Don Alfonso, and Tony Award-winner Kelli O’Hara plays Despina, the pair who manipulate the action. Amanda Majeski, Serena Malfi, Ben Bliss and Adam Pachetcka play the pairs of young lovers, who test each other’s faithfulness. David Robertson conducts Mozart’s comic and controversial story of love and jealousy. Prepare to wonder at the tangled love stories and to marvel at the timeless, beautiful music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
