Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) wrote the music to COSI FAN TUTTE (So do they all), his third collaboration with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, only after his contemporaty Antonio Salieri rejected the initial commission. Its first performance took place on January 26, 1790 at the Burgtheater in Vienna, Austria. Despite the strained credibility of the story, in which two men undertake a dare to deceive their lovers through feeble disguise and pretence in order to prove their faithfulness, Mozart enriched its characters with emotional depth, motivation, and humor. Though it took longer to achieve popularity than the other da Ponte operas, by the middle of the twentieth century, Cosi fan tutte had become a staple in opera houses all over the world. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set): Vocal soli (6 roles: SSSTBB): Mixed Chorus.
