Opera luminary Renée Fleming directs rising stars from the Aspen Opera Theater and VocalARTS program in Mozart's sublime — and some may say ridiculous — sex farce. See what unfolds when an old cynic makes a bet with two younger friends that their fiancées will be unfaithful. The plot may seem silly on its face, but through the genius of Mozart's music and DaPonte's libretto, you may discover deeper meanings and questions about the nature of love, the conflict between reason and emotion, and the consequences of idealizing others. Hear some of the most exquisite music ever written for the opera stage in the intimate and historic Wheeler Opera House!
