Here at last is a "Cosi" to cherish! Mozart's delicious comedy of manners receives a lavish treatment in this irresistible La Scala production. Masquerades, mistaken identities, mock suicides, and love won, lost, spurned, betrayed and won again propel the delightful plot. With a sure hand and a light touch, conductor Riccardo Muti guides the La Scala forces through one of Mozart's most complex and scintillating scores. The cast shines in a dazzling display of impeccable musicianship and superb ensemble singing.
Viewer Reviews
The reviews here seem rather divided but if you read them carefully you will see that everyone pretty much agrees that this is a first rate production with top notch performers. Technical issues seem to have affected some of the viewers in a negative way, but I wasn't distracted in the least. I thought this version was a lot of fun. The production captures the spirit of this provocative masterpiece very nicely. It is convincingly acted and is very entertaining--- from beginning to end. Adelina Scarabelli as Despina is the stand out performer here (as others have noted). She enters the part with all her heart and you might think the role had been written with her in mind. This is the third version of Cosi I have seen and this Despina outshines the competition in this show-stopping role. There may indeed be superior versions of Cosi (like the Gardiner version) but this one has great merits and is certainly well worth experiencing.
