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.

The Diary of One Who Disappeared was filmed under social distancing guidelines and I think it’s a really good choice of repertoire. The cast is small, which makes it easier to social distance. It’s also only just over half an hour, which would be a much smaller risk than a piece of two hours or more.
