Scottish Opera Cosi Fan Tutte

Scottish Opera return to the festival with a lightly staged concert performance of Cosi fan tutte, the third and last of Mozart’s great collaborations with the librettist Lorenzo da Ponte.

Don Alfonso, the opera’s cynically manipulating master of ceremonies, declares ‘They (women) are all the same’ and bets Ferrando and Guglielmo he can prove that their fiancées will be unfaithful. The two agree to the challenge, but will the cynic be proved right or will love endure?

The complex, sometimes disturbing psychology of human relationships is the subject of this subtlest of comedies. Scottish Opera has brought together some of our finest young singers to bring the sophistication and profundity of Mozart’s glorious score to life.

There's a mutual electricity among this sparky team that makes this live performance sizzle from start to finish.'

St Mary’s Parish Church, Haddington

The Collegiate Church of St Mary the Virgin is one of the great ecclesiastical buildings of mediaeval Scotland, founded in 1380 and known for centuries as "The Lamp of Lothian".

It was severely damaged in the 16th Century during Henry VIII's 'Rough Wooing' of Scotland, and after the Reformation only the nave was used as a parish church, with the choir and tower remaining roofless.

It was finally restored to its former glory in the 1970s, and is Scotland's longest church as well as one of its most beautiful, with a wonderfully warm, resonant acoustic.
