Concert: suggested donation, $2 per person, $5 per family. Supper and refreshments will be served for modest donations. Call 401-322-1804 or 860-535-0379 for more information. Check out the musicians at www.reverbnation.com/boysinhats

Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte Opera at the Garde Series

Connecticut Lyric Opera presents Mozart's deliciously ironic look at the foibles of love. Presented in Italian with English supertitles and orchestra.
5 pm
Connecticut Lyric Opera presents
Mozart's COSI FAN TUTTE
COSI FAN TUTTE (“Thus do all women”), the perfect opera for those who prefer their laughter sandwiched with a slice of wry, is a deliciously ironic look at the foibles of love. We begin with two sisters, their fiancés, and a bet—Will the women be faithful? Thus we enter a world of disguises and trickery in which the women—and Love itself—are put to the test. Mozart’s genius turns a farce into a scintillating blend of thought provoking humor. Presented with English supertitles.
Tickets: $60 loge; $52 orchestra; $40 front balcony; $32 rear balcony
(Online purchase includes additional $4 per ticket transaction fee)
