Cosi Fan Tutte 2017

Following the success of our OffWestEnd Finalist Best Opera Production of Cosi Fan Tutte in 2017, we revived the production in 2018 both as a Street Opera and also adapted for the Merton Arts Space in Wimbledon Library. The Merton Arts Space performance enabled our audience to experience our innovative re-imagining in a new immersive context and also involved less walking than our high street performances!

It’s a story about love and friendship, cheating, and testing the one you love. Our one hour adaptation has an accessible modern English text by Joanna Turner with the music re-written for accordion, violin and bassoon by Leo Geyer, telling the story in a way that makes it feel as if it is truly happening here and now.

2018’s production was kindly funded by The Humphrey Richardson Taylor Charitable Trust and private donors.

Reviews

[Don Alfonso’s] challenge, and their resulting bet, comes about so naturally in this context that I began to wonder why every Cosi doesn’t start in a pub beer garden.-

, Operissima

Mitcham has probably witnessed these human scenes many times before; the only change is that, this time, Mozart is involved, and everybody sings.-

, Operissima

What amazed me about the Baseless Fabric experience is how naturally this production fits into its locations, a testament to the scrupulous research work which must have gone on beforehand, as well as the quality of everyone’s performances.-

, Operissima

Sung in a beautifully natural, contemporary English libretto by Joanna Turner-

, Operissima

Leo Geyer and Joanna Turner have done a wonderful job in creating a modern libretto and production suitable for this High Street Format Opera-
