Nothing makes me feel better than Così fan tutte

I have been utterly fascinated by the wildly intriguing choices of “comfort operas” these past few days. For me, Così fan tutte is my absolute first choice.

 

There are several recordings I am fond of, but I have recently been enjoying a live performance from 1956 from La Scala with quite a stellar cast: Fiordiligi – Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Dorabella – Nan Merriman, Despina – Graziella Sciutti, Ferrando – Luigi Alva, Guglielmo – Rolando Panerai, Don Alfonso – Franco Calabrese.
I would be thrilled to hear all of your favorite Così performances!

Sending you all much positive energy and high Fs on pitch, TildyDiva
