Così fan tutte
The final opera of the Da Ponte trilogy, Così fan tutte, will be conducted this summer by Gabor Takács-Nagy, following the immense success of The Marriage of Figaro in 2024 and Don Giovanni in 2022.
Alongside the Music Director of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, a dream cast: Johanna and Rebecka Wallroth, sisters in real life as well as in the opera, baritone Konstantin Krimmel (Opus Klassik’s Singer of the Year), and the inimitable Bryn Terfel as Don Alfonso, returning to Verbier after his triumph in Gianni Schicchi last year.
It couldn’t be a more spectacular lineup to launch the 20th-anniversary celebrations of the VFCO!

A masterpiece of theatre within theatre, Così fan tutte marks the final collaboration between Mozart and his beloved librettist Da Ponte. Countless productions of this classic depict the characters alternately as actors, victims, or spectators of a cruel yet seemingly playful game of deception.
Ten years after his legendary Falstaff, Bryn Terfel returns to the stage in another of his favorite roles. He is joined by Johanna Wallroth (Fiordiligi), a rising star of Swedish opera and recipient of the prestigious Birgit Nilsson Scholarship, whose flawless career includes standout appearances at Schönbrunn Palace with the Wiener Staatsoper and tours with Daniel Harding. Alongside her, mirroring the Da Ponte libretto, is her real-life sister Rebecka Wallroth (Dorabella), Anna El-Khashem (Despina), Giovanni Sala (Ferrando), and Konstantin Krimmel as Guglielmo, recently named Best Singer at the prestigious Opus Klassik. A major operatic event led by the infectious energy of Mozart specialist Gabor Takacs-Nagy!
