Welcome

Welcome to Utah Opera’s performance of Mozart’s Così fan tutte. We’re so glad you’ve joined our community of people who value great live musical experiences. According to a survey conducted by OPERA America, Utah Opera boasts an audience with the youngest median age in the United States. We are proud of this statistic and hope you enjoy encountering the broad cross-section of Utahns and visitors to our state who come together in the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre to be inspired by the music, sets, costumes, and amazing singer-actors bringing our performances to life.

We are thrilled to feature the return of former Utah Opera Resident Artists Aaron Blake and Leah Wool to our stage as Ferrando and Dorabella. We are also proud to showcase

Dave Petersen USUO Board of Trustees Chair

current Resident Artist Abigail Levis as Despina.

Our Resident Artist program is designed to offer training that helps young opera professionals further their careers; the program also provides opera outreach performances throughout the state of Utah. Participating artists tour the state between September and May each year, inspiring the people of Utah with age-appropriate educational programming in our schools and with community concerts in rural areas.

Thank you for joining us today. When we see the excited faces of people entering and leaving our theatre, it is a wonderful reminder of how much our staff, artists, and trustees contribute to the rich cultural fabric of our community.

Sincerely,

Melia Tourangeau USUO President & CEO

Verl & Joyce Topham

Lifetime Board

Verl and Joyce Topham have devoted much of their lives and energy to supporting and sustaining the arts and education in Salt Lake City and beyond. Verl Topham had a long and successful career, first as a lawyer and later as the top executive with Utah Power and Light and PacifiCorp. Verl served on both the Utah Opera Board of Trustees, as Chairman, and the Utah Symphony Board before the two companies merged in 2002.

He is currently a member of Utah Symphony | Utah Opera’s Lifetime Board. He has served on numerous other community boards, including Westminster College, Economic Development Corporation of Utah, and Utah Athletic Foundation, and he was Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Utah Shakespeare Festival.

In 2000, Verl was honored by the Salt Lake Chamber as a Giant in Our City, an award that was created to recognize exceptional and distinguished public service and extraordinary professional achievement. Joyce is a multimedia visual artist. She is also a soprano and a longtime lover of opera and music.

Verl and Joyce are both firm believers in a liberal arts education and are delighted that USUO artists share their musicianship with future generations. They support USUO so that not only will audiences throughout the state enjoy a world-class symphony and opera, but that the talent and passion for those art forms will endure.

PRELUDE LECTURES Prelude lectures by principal coach Carol Anderson offer insights before each Utah Opera production.

This introduction includes historical context, musical highlights, and a behind-the-scenes perspective.

Preludes are free with your opera ticket and begin one hour before curtain in the Capitol Room.

Così fan tutte

synopsis

By Judy Vander Heide ACT I—The scene is the seaside of the Bay of Naples

in the late 18th century. Two handsome young officers, Guglielmo and Ferrando, brag about the fidelity and beauty of their fiancées, Fiordiligi and Dorabella. Their caustic older friend, Don Alfonso, ridicules the idea that women can be faithful and proposes a wager to prove his assertions. The officers must do as he demands during the course of one day, and he will prove the sisters to be untrustworthy—like all women he claims.

As the sisters are comparing pictures of their betrothed, the men arrive with the news that they are off to war. Don Alfonso’s plan has been set into motion.

The sisters’ maid, Despina, who is an ally of Don Alfonso, encourages the girls to be of better cheer and to seek new lovers, since all men lack constancy. Disguised as mustachioed Albanians, Guglielmo and Ferrando enter and each courts the other’s girlfriend. Even though tempted, the sisters initially resist the Albanians’ overtures. The officers rejoice in the loyalty of their fiancées, but Don Alfonso reminds them that the bet is still on and the day is not yet over.

The Albanians return to the garden, moaning that, lovesick, they have taken poison. Despina, who has been sent for help, returns disguised as a doctor and endeavors to heal the young men by waving a magnet over them. The Albanians insist upon kisses to aid in their cure, which the sisters refuse despite encouragement from Despina and Don Alfonso.

INTERMISSION ACT II—The maid Despina exhorts her

mistresses to pick their favorite Albanian, for all agree a little flirting is harmless. The sisters choose each other’s suitors, and Guglielmo quickly entices Dorabella into accepting the gift of a locket and his affections. Fiordiligi is less enamored with Ferrando, but he begins to win her over, despite her feelings of guilt for betraying Guglielmo. Ferrando is dismayed that Dorabella has been charmed so easily, and Guglielmo cannot help but be self-satisfied. All is progressing according to Don Alfonso’s plan.

Both young officers are distressed that their fiancées are so fickle and acknowledge that Don Alfonso has won the bet. The older man now proceeds to plan a double wedding. Despina is disguised as a notary and the marriage contracts are signed. In the background regimental music is heard and the panicked sisters attempt to hide their Albanian bridegrooms—who quickly return, having exchanged their disguises for officers’ uniforms.

Don Alfonso discloses the marriage contracts to the officers, who are enraged at the perfidy of their sweethearts. The officers withdraw and return partially wearing their Albanian costumes. Despina is revealed to be the notary, and the chastened sisters are filled with remorse and ask forgiveness. The wager is disclosed and Don Alfonso urges pardon from all. The young people agree that reason should prevail and this is just a part of life’s ups and downs.

Così fan tutte

composer & librettist

Wolfang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg on January 27, 1756 into a family of musicians. He began composing at age five and played before the Bavarian elector and Austrian Empress at age six. A child prodigy, Mozart had composed two operas and several symphonies and string quartets before he turned twenty.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Composer

Although a gifted composer and performer, Mozart’s adult life was spent in constant pursuit of positions as a court composer.

Mozart resigned a position in Vienna in 1781 over a conflict with his employer, the Prince-Archbishop of the Salzburg court.

He spent the next few years working freelance. He taught, published his music, played at patrons’ houses, and composed by commission in order to support himself. During this period, he married Constanze Weber. She was the younger sister of Aloysia Weber, with whom Mozart had fallen in love several years earlier.

In 1786, Mozart collaborated with the librettist Lorenzo da Ponte on the first of his three comic operas, Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro), based on a play by Pierre Beaumarchais. The librettist-composer team followed The Marriage of Figaro with Don Giovanni (1787) and Così fan tutte (1790).

Lorenzo da Ponte (Emanuele Conegliano), a Venetian Jew, was born on March 10, 1749. His mother died in childbirth in 1754.

When he was fourteen, his father, Geremia Conegliano, fell in love with a Roman Catholic woman. Geremia had himself, Emanuele, and the boy’s two brothers converted in order to marry, and Emanuele took the name Lorenzo da Ponte, the name of the bishop who administered his baptism.

Lorenzo da Ponte

Librettist

32

Da Ponte traveled to Austria, where he was appointed Poet to the Italian Theatre. He wrote libretti for Antonio Salieri as well as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Vicente Martín y Soler. As a librettist, he composed works in French, German, Italian, and Spanish. His collaborations with Mozart for Così fan tutte, The Marriage of Figaro (adapted from a play by Pierre Beaumarchais) and Don Giovanni are his best-known accomplishments. He married Ann Celestine Grahl around 1792, and together they had four children. Da Ponte died in 1838 in New York City, and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

director’s notes

Così fan tutte: a fresh classic

By Crystal Manich Any musical comedy worth staging for more than two centuries must contain enough material that can be interpreted in a myriad of ways in order for it to live as an iconic piece of work. But Mozart’s ingenious opera Così fan tutte (All women are like that) has the stigma of being not only a difficult opera to stage, but also of being sexist. The primary challenge of the piece is how to handle the lovers in terms of defining why they do what they do. Is it all merely a treatise on proving that women cannot be faithful (as the title implies)? That seems to be a rather trite outlook for an opera that peels off layer after layer of satire, drama and excess.

Così asks us to question the validity of fidelity as considered by both sexes and through the character of Fiordiligi the thesis of the opera is exposed: “How can one’s heart change in just a single day?” When our two mischievous boys Guglielmo and Ferrando appear in disguise as “Albanians” (a reference to 18th century clichés having to do with virility), we are immersed in a clown show. After all, as Act II unfurls and the drama overtakes the comedy,

34

we see the men suffering the consequences of their actions, and they are forced to look at themselves in a proverbial mirror. This production for Utah Opera puts us into the gaudy 1920s to highlight the changing ideas about love and marriage in that period, in addition to exploiting the context of Gatsbylike excesses. Dorabella and Fiordiligi begin as conservative prudes only to let go little by little and eventually succumb to the stylish clothing, charm and lavishness of the period, provided to them by their “new” Albanian lovers.

Most difficult to interpret in any production, however, is the final ensemble of the opera.

Mozart gives no clear stage direction as to whether the girls are happy to be reunited with their rightful lovers, if the lovers return to the way they were, if the lovers have changed partners, or even if Guglielmo and Ferrando will continue to be friends. This kind of open-endedness on paper has allowed Così to evolve over the centuries, making it possible to have various approaches to its interpretation. It is an assault on humanity at large, not on women alone.

Disbelief…

1/3

Disbelief, We Happily Suspend Thee

By Jeff Counts Many of the artistic entertainments we regularly consume—books, movies, stage dramas, etc.—require us to lay aside our conventional understanding of “reality” and, in some cases, even “plausibility.” Aliens, superheroes and demons of every sort fill our minds with worlds both distant and eerily close to our own. We love it, we need it, and, in all but the most preposterous scenarios, we blissfully accept it. The preposterousness, in the rare instances when we don’t buy in, is often more the fault of execution than subject matter. Well-wrought, transportive artworks seem able to redeem even the most ardent cynics among us, no matter how far afield the various conceits go. If the art is good enough, we can be led just about anywhere.

Just about. Where is that line then, the one beyond which a single step undoes the entire construction? The location of the line probably differs for each art form and certainly for each reader/viewer but, in all the great variety of human creativity, opera appears to tread closest and most often. Consider the story of Così fan tutte. Così was Mozart’s last collaboration with his celebrated artistic partner Lorenzo da Ponte. Da Ponte’s “original” libretto (quotes supplied by this author in recognition of recent scholarship that casts doubt on the provenance of the material; certainly the central theme of the libretto had been addressed in the earlier work of other writers) tells a tale of female fidelity put to the ultimate test. Two soldiers, good friends, are betrothed to a pair of sisters and, at the urging of a third party, the young men decide to interrogate the loyalty of their brides-to-be. The soldiers set the stage by 36

claiming they have been unexpectedly called off to war and then quickly reappearing in disguise.

They then proceed to woo the other’s fiancée, both eventually convincing the ladies to stray.

This necessitates a rather awkward double marriage, but the wrong-way debacle mercifully ends before it starts when the trick is revealed and all is forgiven. An amiable group-shrug, chuckles all around and the consolation of an important lesson learned are apparently enough to smooth over the lies, coerced affairs and generally disturbing behavior. As the title itself states (translated loosely), “Thus do all women.”

It goes without saying that the above scenario should not be “accepted” by anyone, ever. It simply goes too far, stretches our credibility (not to mention sensibility) too much. But the opera did very well when it premiered in 1790, and it is still regularly, and lovingly, performed today.

This is no doubt due to the undisputed greatness of the music, which may in turn prove the notion that operas get to raise the absurdity bar higher than any other kind of art, thanks to the potential genius of composition. This is no great leap really. As a cultured and devoted audience we absorb an incredible amount of silliness in our operatic masterpieces, and the peanut butter that hides the pill is always the music.

Okay, then. In the interest of determining where that aforementioned line of preposterousness actually is, let’s play a little game called “Opera or Not?” The following stripped-down plot descriptions may or may not be reflective of actual opera libretti.

1. A woman dresses as a man to gain access to her wrongfully imprisoned husband. Her disguise is good enough that she attracts the amorous admiration of another young woman and the enmity of the young man who yearns for her. When the disguised woman finally gets to her husband, he doesn’t recognize her either, and she is forced to reveal herself to save him from murder by his jailer. Deus ex machina ensues and all are saved. Opera or Not? 2. A comedian makes powerful enemies by mocking their misfortunes. When his own daughter is caught in the web of one such

nobleman, the comedian hires an assassin to kill him. The assassin’s sister is also involved with the nobleman and she convinces her brother to let him live. The assassin agrees and promises to kill instead the next man to cross his path. The comedian’s daughter loves the nobleman too, however and, dressed as a man, she willingly goes to the assassin and is killed in her lover’s stead. The comedian receives the agreed-upon death sack but finds there not the body of the nobleman but rather that of his daughter. Opera or Not? 3. An important woman conspires with her young lover to kill her equally important husband. Her son, somehow unknown to her, arrives later and catches her eye.

A powerful man murders his second in command with a rare poison to secure his societal position and make a play for the second in command’s attractive lover. The young lady soon reveals that she has an identical twin and challenges the powerful man to accurately differentiate her from her sister. Only when he agrees to the test do the women admit that they have given him the same poison he used to kill his lieutenant and that only the correct twin has the antidote on her lips. He makes his choice and takes his kiss, only to taste more poison there. There was no antidote and all three die on the spot. Opera or Not? 5. A reclusive lady will only marry the man who can answer her three riddles. Any man who tries and fails gets killed and this happens a lot, apparently.

As evidence for a thesis, though, they support the idea that we humans, as a truly heart-first-head-second collection of beings, are capable of amazing literary forgiveness when confronted with an effective totality of artistic inspiration. Great music + ridiculous story = great experience. We don’t know why this is so, only that it is and this simple math withstands even the most earnest attempts to discredit it. In the end, Così just works. Don’t overthink it.

A Lesson for Lovers

A Lesson for Lovers: Let Reason Be Your Guide

By Paula Fowler

Happy is he who in all situations lets himself be guided by reason.

What makes others weep will bring him laughter, and in the world he will find lovely calm. [final text of Così fan tutte]

The comic opera Così fan tutte, with libretto

by Lorenzo da Ponte and music by Wolfgang Mozart, premiered in Vienna in 1790 and then disappeared from stages until early in the 20th century. The 19th century had little interest in this, the third of the da Ponte-Mozart operas.

Its hundred years’ absence wasn’t due to comic operas’ lack of appeal for Europeans during the Romantic century. Rossini’s comedies, for instance, were popular all over the continent, and Così, like typical Rossini fare, features romantic couples, disguises no one sees through, and a wager made and lost—all reliable set-ups for comedy. The 19th century’s discomfort with the piece wasn’t musical either: Mozart’s music for Così is sublime; the arias, the ensembles in every combination of characters, the amazing segmented finales—they are all sensuous and beautiful.

It was Così’s story that 19th century Europeans found troubling. In it, two men motivated by personal honor agree to a contest that ends with their fiancées accepting the advances of other suitors. Romantics preferred to idealize women and to regard individual passion (not reason) as the greatest source of truth. Così fan tutte shows women as fallible, and the play urges us to distrust what our passions suggest. Romantics saw that message as disgusting, so the opera didn’t get produced.

We carry enough of that Romanticism in us today, as well as a modern sense of equal UTAH OPERA COSÌ FAN TUTTE 2015

treatment for women, to be disturbed by the conclusion drawn by the philosopher, Don Alfonso, who guides the young men in their experiment in love. In a dramatic moment, he makes them repeat after him “Così fan tutte,” or “Thus do all women.” The line, borrowed from Don Basilio of the earlier The Marriage of Figaro, avers that all women are inconstant, unfaithful, not to be trusted. Mozart emphasized Alfonso’s line by making it the title of the piece, moving the working title, The School for Lovers, to its present secondary position.

Mozart’s wife, Constanze, didn’t like the story either, but for different reasons than those of later women. You may recall that Mozart fell in love with the soprano Aloysia Weber, and when she married someone else, he transferred his emotions to Aloysia’s younger sister Constanze. The story of redirecting one’s passions had a personal parallel in Mozart’s own life.

Still…that title…that hurtful sweeping generalization from Alfonso…it’s tempting to let it ruin the entire opera experience of Così.

I remind myself that that line seems set up to be the moral of the story, but it isn’t the final message. The moral of the tale is delivered, rather, in the usual opera buffa fashion, in the concluding ensemble, which is often sung outside of the context of the opera, by all principal singers lined up on the edge of the stage. The text for that number in Così urges us 43

Così fan tutte

A Lesson for Lovers

to let reason be our guide in life, that and a sense of humor.

That final quatrain captures all of the lovers’ lessons learned in the process of the opera, while the phrase “Thus do all women” does not. Da Ponte and Mozart show us—by means of the opening duets and arias—that at the beginning of the opera, all four of the young lovers are guilty of romantic excess, and all need to learn to temper their passions with realism. The men learn that their women can be seduced away (by insistent rivals who use every tool of seduction). The women learn that their own passionate natures can trick them; they also learn that their men are capable of extended dissembling, and are not to be naively trusted. Don Alfonso and the worldly-wise maid Despina become schoolmasters for all of them.

Da Ponte and Mozart’s other two opera creations, The Marriage of Figaro of 1786 and Don Giovanni of 1787, are also concerned with fidelity and human frailty. In Figaro, the Count is unfaithful to his vows; he is brought to account finally by his noble, ever-constant and forgiving Countess with the help of a pair of clever servants. One of those servants, Figaro, fears himself betrayed in love but finds himself quickly forgiven for this mistake by his faithful Susanna. The title character of Don Giovanni is worse than inconstant; the women seeking

2/3

vengeance on him are stuck pursuing him because—unlike Così’s women—they can’t get their hearts to change. The Don is also brought to justice, in his case by supernatural powers.

Also worth considering in this exploration of operas outside Così is Mozart’s final opera, Die Zauberflöte. This was not a collaboration with da Ponte, but also presents characters on an educational journey. The story follows the hero quest of Prince Tamino, and Mozart’s Pamina joins him in his heroic endeavors, even taking the lead as they take tests of water and fire. They have a kind and wise mentor in the high priest Sarastro, and I wonder whether it might be possible to envision Don Alfonso, who is master of the experiment in morality at the center of Così fan tutte, as a similarly Enlightened leader. Is Alfonso a cynical older man who has been much disappointed in love?

Or could he be a patient schoolmaster who guides the young people through their trial, and helps them understand what it means? His titular truth—“thus do all women”—is harsh, but he softens the blow by laughing and saying he forgives them, even loves them for their changeability. He calls his attitude a “necessity of heart.”

Our take on the opera and our opinion of its theme will especially be affected by our stage director’s choices for Don Alfonso’s character and especially for activity during the final

scenes. The ending of Così’s libretto is famously ambiguous, and the music doesn’t direct us definitively either. What do the women do, once all is revealed? Do they return to their original lovers (the script says the men claim them—but do the women stay?), or consider staying with the love more resisted and harder won? Maybe they don’t make a match at all.

I look forward to seeing the solution to this problem opera as presented by this stage director and this cast. I recently viewed a variety of productions available on DVD. In a 1989 traditional production from Milan (white powdered wigs on the men), the humiliated women reunite with their not-so-happy fiancés.

Peter Sellars, directing a version for Vienna in 2005, set the opera in an American seaside diner owned by Despina; during the final number, his characters spin around in individual chaos.

Another production in modern setting, this time from Madrid in 2013, has the singers in a tug-of-war until the curtain falls. One more, from Zurich in 2009, has a modern setting but 18th century costuming; in its ending, Don Alfonso gathers the unhappy lovers and makes them sing the moral from a songbook, at the end of which Fiordiligi falls to the ground, poisoned! Utah Opera’s production of 2005 ended with the singers circling around each other, uncommitted.

Bring on the school for lovers! I will aim to quell my emotional response to Don Alfonso’s “Così fan tutte,” and let reason (and our stage director) be my guide to sorting out what this opera means. I hope you can do that too.

UTAH OPERA COSÌ FAN TUTTE 2015

Planned Giving Dr. Ralph and Judith H. Vander Heide have a long history of supporting the arts in Utah. A past president of the Ogden Symphony and Ballet Association, Judy has served as president of the Ogden Opera Guild for the past seven years, which she has represented on Utah Symphony | Utah Opera’s Board of Trustees. Judy also serves as a board member of Opera Volunteers International. Ralph, a retired professor of foreign languages, began his college studies as a voice major where he developed great appreciation for the energy, training, devotion, and skill which singing requires. In addition to being active members of their Ogden community, Ralph and Judy are enthusiastic supporters of Utah Opera’s commitment to share the joy of live music and theater with audiences across the state.

Dr. Ralph & Judith H. Vander Heide

“Ogden has a long history of supporting opera, welcoming opera companies from the turn of the twentieth century,” says Judy.

“Ralph and I know the joy we experience through music is due to the performances of some of the greats, and to experience that we have a commitment to help meet the ever-present time, energy, and financial requirements that make the existence of our first class opera and symphony possible. We want to help ensure that USUO continues to be the premier arts organization in the state, and we are champions of supporting the organization in proportion to ability. Making Utah Opera the beneficiary of a legacy will help make certain the continued existence of the art form in Utah.”

To continue their volunteerism and support for USUO Ralph and Judy have proudly joined others in the community to safeguard Utah Opera’s legacy in the Intermountain West. Ralph and Judy’s committed bequest will support an endowment fund for Utah Opera, helping to ensure that great operatic performances will go on across Utah for years to come.

Thanks to the planning of generous patrons and volunteers like the Vander Heides, Utah Opera will continue to engage and inspire current and future audiences in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and throughout the state. To learn how you, too, can include Utah Opera in your plans, contact Leslie Peterson at 801-869-9012 or lpeterson@usuo.org, or visit us online at usuo.org/support.

Utah Symphony | Utah opera’S CUltUral FeStival 2014/15

The artistic movement we call Romanticism swept through Western civilization at the beginning of the 1800s. Its practitioners rebelled against the structure and order cherished by previous generations, and regarded the free expression of individual feelings and experiences as more reliable sources of truth than rational thought.

In the 2014–15 season, Utah Symphony | Utah Opera celebrates the Romantics of the 19th century. We will explore art, dance, food, film, and music inspired by Romantic ideals.
