Cosí! Men Are Like That

COSÍ! MEN ARE LIKE THAT, TURNS MOZART’S MOST MISOGYNISTIC OPERA ON ITS HEAD IN A 60 MINUTE ENGLISH SATIRE ACCOMPANIED BY THE OPERA’S GREATEST HIT TUNES. JOIN US AT LA VOILE IN BROOKLINE FOR AN EVENING OF DELICIOUS FRENCH FOOD, WINE, AND THE WORLD PREMIERE OF THIS ROLLICKING SATIRE OF MOZART’S COSÍ FAN TUTTE.

ABOUT COSÍ! MEN ARE LIKE THAT

Is beautiful music enough to justify the problematic, bizarre and murderous depictions of women and other marginalized people in classic operas? Enter “Opera Through the Looking Glass,” a new series of 60-minute productions that retell the stories of canonical operas by turning them on their heads. Join us this spring for the first “Opera Through the Looking Glass” production: a reimagined Così fan tutte by composer Ryan Oldham, focusing on the Mozart opera that has arguably the most demeaning and disempowering view of women of any the composer wrote.
