ENO presents a new concert performance of Mozart’s Così fan tutte for two special shows at The Bridgewater Hall in February 2026.

Mozart’s comic masterpiece is centred around Ferrando and Guglielmo, who have long bragged about enjoying strong relationships with their fiancées, Dorabella and Fiordiligi. Their more cynical friend, Don Alfonso, sets out to challenge this by concocting an intricate plan to prove them wrong. An entertaining tale of deception, mistaken identities and romantic entanglements, Così fan tutte poses the big questions about love, human emotions and dating in disguise.

Ruth Knight is staging this concert performance of Così fan tutte. On the podium, internationally renowned conductor Alexander Joel reunites with the Orchestra of ENO to bring Mozart’s music to life.

'Lucy Crowe lends a touch of vocal class as Fiordiligi, singing with a soft-grained soprano that delights in its long lines of silken beauty, and she is contrasted just enough with Taylor Raven’s more forthright Dorabella.'

Financial Times

'Lucy Crowe’s Fiordiligi... produces the finest Mozart singing heard for years. Indian baritone Darwin Prakash's Guglielmo is a jealous firebrand with a volatile voice to match... Ferrando, Joshua Blue, is a more easy-going character but he also sings with passion and style... Taylor Raven as Dorabella: her voice is big and exciting'

The Times

'Andrew Foster-Williams is on superb form as spivvy Don Alfonso, just occasionally offering a tantalising glimpse of self-doubt... Ailish Tynan is on cracking form as Despina, balancing mischievous energy with the sense of having seen it all before.'
