Whether you’re sitting in the Muriel Kauffman Theater or whether you’re in the wings like local photographer Don Ipock, you can see that our Così fan tutte “has a marvelous stylized look about it” (- critic Kelly Luck, in a review for Broadway World). These images are from the final dress rehearsal of Così fan tutte on March 14.
Above, Despina (Maureen McKay, right) enlists the help of the bellman (Chorister Alexander Goering) to convince the sisters to have a little fun while their fiancés are away at war. Left: Daniela Mack as Dorabella and Rebecca Farley as Fiordiligi.
Above, the “Albanians,” who are really Ferrando and Guglielmo in disguise (Alasdair Kent and John Viscardi), pretend to take poison in an attempt to gain the sisters’ sympathy.
Above, Fiordiligi (Rebecca Farley) has been tempted to cheat on her fiancé Guglielmo, and considers the locket that represents her infidelity.
Above, Guglielmo (John Viscardi) comments on the unfaithfulness of women. (This is just after he has just seduced his friend’s fiancée.)
Above, Despina (Maureen McKay) teases Don Alfonso (Patrick Carfizzi) with a kiss, before the double wedding of the sisters to the “Albanians.”
