Semi-Staged Concert of Così fan tutte
At The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
ENO presents a new semi-staged concert of Mozart’s Così fan tutte for two special performances 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.
Directing this semi-staged concert is Ruth Knight. On the podium is Alexander Joel, internationally renowned conductor, who reunites with the Orchestra of ENO to bring Mozart’s music to life.
