Cosi fan tutte Synopsis

By , About.com Guide   January 15, 2012

Follow me on:

Wolfgang Amadeus MozartMozart's famous opera, Cosi fan tutte, or "Women are like that" tells the story of two men and the faithfulness or "supposed faithfulness" of their fiancées.  After making a bet with a bitter old man, the two men craft a plan to dupe their fiancées into quickly exchanging their steadfast love for other men when the two officers claim to have been sent off to war.  Despite the opera's not-so-perfect view of women, it's one of Mozart's most beloved operas, and has been since its creation in 1790.  Read the entire Cosi fan tutte synopsis.
