Iranian director abbas Kiarostami has made a profound impression
with the poetic use of Western classical music in his films. now he
turns to the operatic stage with his production of mozart’s Così fan
tutte. Winner of the cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or for his A Taste of
Cherry, Kiarostami has received worldwide acclaim for the simplicity
and psychological depth of his work. using spectacular filmed
backdrops, he contains the world of mozart’s popular comic opera
in a beautiful period setting. Susan Gritton, Fiona murphy, thomas
Glenn and liam Bonner play the young lovers caught up in romantic
intrigue and double-dealing. Steven Page is the cynical and
scheming Don alfonso, Sophie Bevan the capricious, opportunistic
maid Despina. mozart specialist Stefan Klingele makes his Eno
conducting debut.
