Women's fidelity theme of comic opera 'Cosi'
A comical trick to prove women's unfaithfulness to their lovers will be featured in the University Theatre's final performance this year.
The University Theatre and the School of Fine Arts will present the opera "Cosi Fani Tutte," by Wolfgang Mozart, at 8 p.m. April 23, 23, and 30.
The opera will be performed in English, rather than its original Italian.
Stage director Torn Rea said Saturday that the opera is light, funny and easy to understand. The strong element of comedy comes from its use of character names for those who weren't used to opera, he said.
IT'S MELODRAMATIC to the point of being ridiculous." Rea said.
The title, "Cosi Fan Tutte," has several approximate English translations that reflect the comic theme of infidelity including "Women's Tragedy" and "School Girl" from *Do They All?*.
Don Alfonso (Carl Packard, Lawrence
graduate), a middle-aged bachelor, summarizes the theme when he says, "Pitting one's trust in women is to fully swerving up the sea, planting seeds in sand, or catching fish."
Alfonso bets two young officers, Ferrando (Thomas Harper, Oklahoma City graduate) and Gugeltoff (William Glinklyn, Lawrence University) that he remains a faithful if the men leave for war.
THE BET IS accepted, and the men attempt to trick their lovers, Dorabella (Julie McSorley, Lawrence graduate) and Dana Lowe, who are entrusted with advice into being unfaithful. The maid Despina (Nancy Atkins, Lawrence graduate) helps the men carry out the plot. The men conclude that women are women, and in matters of love, they all want to win.
George Lawner is music director of the opera.
