Mozart: Cosi Fan Tutte / Schwarzkopf, Cantelli

COSI FAN TUTTE

1956: Cosi Fan Tutte - The solemn start to the Mozart bicentenary celebrations, the reopening of La Piccola Scala, was also the operatic debut at La Scala for a 36-year-old Guido Cantelli. Cantelli, Toscanini's prot+ªg+ª and announced music director of La Scala, also wanted to direct the show. The Cosi fan tutte performance staged on the 27th of January 1956 was a unique artistic event that was to become a legend. The images and music from that evening speak clearly: it was a historical moment. Each La Scala edtion includes 2 audio CDs of the opera recorded at La Scala, and a hardback book which includes an introduction to the opera, full of tales of events and exclusive anecdotes, the original theatre program (including texts and notes written and published at the time of the performance), the complete libretto, and a photo album - a story told in pictures, the opera on stage and behind the scenes including photos, sketches and designs from the Theatre Archive
