Così fan tutte in Straubing: Mozart's game of love, cunning, and loyalty

An opera evening for the mind and heart: At the Theater am Hagen, Mozart's Dramma giocoso unfolds as a vivid stage experience – with sparkling acting, pointed directorial irony, and music that immerses the hall in glowing sound colors. The Landestheater Niederbayern brings the famous seduction bet to the stage with precise dramaturgy and lets the theater atmosphere vibrate from the very first notes.

Between appearance and reality: The staging as a fine psychological profile

Two officers, a bet, a risk: Guglielmo and Ferrando test the fidelity of their fiancées Fiordiligi and Dorabella – disguised, seduced, and uncertain. The direction sharpens Mozart's view of humanity with elegant wit: The set reflects the duplicitous game, the costumes contrast masquerade and truth, the lighting mood modulates from the cheerful salon to quiet recognition. Audience reactions consciously fluctuate between laughter and pause – entirely in the spirit of the Enlightenment that Mozart and Da Ponte capture so pointedly.

Heavenly melodies: When arias carry the space

Come scoglio, Smanie implacabili, Un'aura amorosa – these arias shine like fixed stars in a score that collects duets and ensembles into sparkling constellations. The acoustics of the Great Hall carry the voices far and warm, the vocal direction emphasizes breathy phrases and pointed recitatives. Thus, a sensual sound panorama emerges, daring both virtuoso brilliance and chamber musical intimacy.

Dramaturgical finesse: Comedy with depth sharpness

Under the cheerful surface, a precise dramaturgy works: The love competition becomes a mirror of human desires, the maid Despina becomes the engine of the plot, Don Alfonso the cool directorial philosopher. Premiered historically in 1790 in Vienna, the piece has a rich staging history – from classical elegance to contemporary interpretations that negotiate media and performance realities. The Straubing production takes up this tradition and tells wisely, clearly, and musically differentiated.

Audience in focus: Comfort, service, atmosphere

Theater am Hagen offers 321 seats, barrier-free access, and a mandatory cloakroom – the cloakroom opens one hour before the start. The box office and entrance ensure smooth pathways, the lighting direction sets gentle transitions, and the foyer pulsates with anticipation – including a short introduction beforehand.

Conclusion

What can visitors expect? An evening that combines sparkling opera buffa with psychological accuracy: grand opera in an intimate setting, a dense stage experience between deception and truth. Secure your seats and experience how Mozart unveils love – and reconciles.
