Così fan tutte was not recognized as a masterpiece until the 20th century. Although it contains sublime arias and duets as well as two remarkable 19-minute ensembles, its plot was considered decadent. Così is indeed a fascinating paradox: a frothy comedy of manners with an intensely dark take on human nature; an old story (it has antecedents in Boccaccio, Shakespeare, and Cervantes, among others) with a startlingly modern tone; and a beautiful score depicting questionable behavior. Così still poses unique challenges, and correspondingly unique rewards, for the public today. Every possible impression of love—from the loftiest to the basest—is explored in this extraordinary opera.
