Opera - Cosi Fan Tutte
I’ve been looking forward to reviewing the Garden
Opera’s adaptation of Cosi Fan Tutte all week, so I’m
pretty aghast when I find out that it’s nearly sold
out. Lindsay, who does publicity for Pelham House’s
events tells me all about it. Punters, in black tie and evening
dresses, are fed a meal from Lewes’ finest restaurant
on the gravely bit outside the building, and then meander
down the bank to their seats to see the opera. The production
is performed by a touring company who specialise in outside
events in the summer. They have relocated Mozart’s great
comedy to an upmarket seaside hotel on the coast during the
Boer War. Two soldiers pretend to go off to fight, but return
dressed up as big game hunters to test the fidelity of their
wives by trying to get off with the wrong one. All this amidst
jolly games of croquet in the garden. A quintessentially English
performance in a quintessentially English setting.
Well the good news is we’ve got hold of the last two
tickets and we are going to give them away, with a meal at
Circa thrown in, to one lucky reader. To stand a chance of
winning, simply answer the question below. It’s slightly
more difficult than ‘Who wrote Cosi Fan Tutte a) Mozart,
b) Eminem, c) Johnny Cash type of thing. Here it is. What
was Mozart’s father called? No cheating on Google.
