Celebrated director Atom Egoyan returns to the COC, bringing his signature style to this wry comedy about two couples gambling with faith and desire. Featuring a cast of exciting young opera stars and distinguished, seasoned veterans, this work is full of both farce and folly. Yet Mozart’s sublime musical depiction of the honest and intimate struggles of love and temptation is truly one of the greatest pieces about relationships ever written.
On stage at the Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen St. W., Toronto. Performance time is approximately three hours, 5 minutes including one intermission. Sung in Italian with English SURTITLES™.
