VoiceArc's latest production is Mozart's Cosi fan tutte, following their distinctive contemporary style. Let their promotional material speak for itself.
"Meanwhile as VA flight 306 taxies down the runway: Captain Fiordiligi & Head trolley dolly Dorabella are unhappy. Their fiances First Officer Guglielmo & trolley dolly Ferrando, lured by seedy Don Alfonso, take some time out without permission and secretly join a dating app under assumed names. Wily Despina persuades the ladies to join too. Make sure your tray tables are stowed and your seat backs are in an upright position as we are in for a turbulent ride".
"VoiceArc's unique retelling of Mozart's wonderful opera Cosi fan tutte brings the slapstick comedy and setting of this masterpiece right up to date recreating it as an opera for a modern world while remaining faithful to and passionate about Mozart's wonderful score and Da Ponte's brilliant libretto. VoiceArc's second opera production is set to be a stimulating follow up to their immensely well received debut production of Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro again performed by a stellar cast of talented young professional musicians from across Europe under the expert guidance of Artistic Director Dr Nell Drew. It is quite simply, not to be missed".
"VoiceArc don't seek to change the music, and are still passionate about excellent singing, however, we aim to change the delivery to create operas for today's audiences. We hope audiences will be moved, challenged and thoroughly entertained by our unique interpretation of this Mozart masterpiece".
This production is with piano accompaniment.
Warning: Mild sexual reference and comedy slapstick violence
