Scottish Opera’s production of Cosi fan tutte is really lighthearted and fun but it does take the story seriously and shows the characters as real people. The title is usually translated as ‘So do all women’ but this production seems to focus on the fact that everyone makes mistakes. So it’s like Cosi fan tutti. ‘Tutti’ means all males but it’s also used for a mixture of men and women.

I like a good pun and this isn’t a bad one. You’ve got to admire the speed with which they’ve put it together (I know the opera houses were probably all closed, but that didn’t mean nobody had anything to do). There is some great singing, obviously some great music and there is a lot about this production which is really enjoyable.
