Cosi fan tutte: la scuola degli Amanti is an ensemble project based on Mozart's “Cosi fan tutte” with students from the singing program at HMTMH.

The Tonkunst Hannover e. V. association is hosting this concert as part of the new “Klangpunkte” concert series. The performance will take place at Tonstudio Tessmar Hannover. “The School for Lovers” is the subtitle of Mozart and da Ponte's opera about the disillusionment of love. In this sense, young singers try out the game of partner swapping in a semi-staged studio concert, which turns from a love experiment into a test of life. They will be accompanied on the piano by Matteo Guerra. The concert will be sung in Italian.

The musical director is Matteo Guerra, the scenic director is the director Mascha Pörzgen. The costume design is by Elsa Zulauf (HS Hannover). Musical supervision: Paul Weigold
