COSÌ FAN TUTTE  - A New Production

The Royal Opera

 

Spurred on by a bet, two young men hatch a plan to test the fidelity of their girlfriends. What follows is a slippery game of seduction and power, the four lovers plunging into a dizzying world of shifting reality, where truth becomes increasingly unstable.


Così Fan Tutte has lost none of its sting since it first scandalised audiences in 1790. In her Main Stage debut, Netia Jones, Associate Director of The Royal Opera, reimagines Mozart’s comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. Taking on the roles of the lovers is an exciting young cast led by Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall, with Gerald Finley as their manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts, bringing out the exquisite melodies that underpin the provocative, and resolutely modern, themes at the heart of the opera.

Wedi'u hysgogi gan fet, mae dau ddyn ifanc yn llunio cynllun i brofi ffyddlondeb eu cariadon. Yr hyn sy'n dilyn yw gêm lithrig o hudo a phŵer, gyda'r pedwar cariad yn plymio i fyd penysgafn o realiti newidiol, lle mae gwirionedd yn dod yn fwyfwy ansefydlog.

 

Nid yw Così Fan Tutte wedi colli dim o'i apêl ers iddo sgandaleiddio cynulleidfaoedd am y tro cyntaf ym 1790. Yn ei hymddangosiad cyntaf ar y Prif Lwyfan, mae Netia Jones, Cyfarwyddwr Cyswllt yr Opera Brenhinol, yn ail-ddychmygu comedi moesau Mozart trwy lens gyfoes finiog, lle mae twyll rhamantus y 18fed ganrif yn cwrdd â thwyll uwch-dechnoleg ddychanol dwfn. Caiff y cariadon eu portreadu gan gast ifanc cyffrous dan arweiniad Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei a Huw Montague Rendall, gyda Gerald Finley fel eu harweinydd ystrywgar Don Alfonso ac Emily Pogorelc fel Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock sy'n arwain, gan lywio’r alawon coeth sy'n sail i'r themâu pryfoclyd a modern ar ganol yr opera.

Götterdämmerung - A New Production

The Royal Opera


An earth in ruin. The twilight of the Gods. Deception leads to treachery, then devastation, when Siegfried is tricked into betraying Brünnhilde. Learning the truth of her beloved’s innocence, Brünnhilde at last returns the ring to the Rhinemaidens, before ordering that Valhalla be swallowed in flames.


For the long-awaited finale of Wagner’s epic saga, director Barrie Kosky situates the rich apocalyptic drama in a contemporary world of dream-like turmoil. Antonio Pappano, Conductor Laureate of The Royal Opera, returns to take on the impassioned, otherworldly music – including Siegfried’s transporting Funeral March and Brünnhilde’s electrifying Immolation Scene.


The brilliant cast is led by Elisabet Strid, Andreas Schager and Mika Kares, who together with the full forces of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Chorus bring opera’s greatest journey to its shattering end.


Sung in German with English subtitles.


Approximate runtime: 5 hours 50 minutes with two intervals
