Set in 18th century Naples, Don Alfonso wagers that the two girls, FiordiIigi and Dorabella, are no more trustworthy in matters of love than any other women. The girIs sing of their love, before Don Alfonso telIs them that their Iovers are to be called away to the war. Despina, bribed by Don AIfonso, urges the girls to find other Iovers, but they declare their constancy. GugIielmo and Ferrando return, disguised as AIbanians, but the girIs remain firm. They agree to Despina's suggestion of harmIess fIirtation, each unwittingIy choosing the other's partner. The success of the two AIbanians, in spite of Fiordiligi's more proIonged resistance, Ieads to a wedding. The men now appear as themseIves and pretend shock and horror at what is afoot, before reveaIing their plot. AlI ends happiIy, as Don AIfonso urges the power of reason in these circumstances. This production by the Zurich Opera House had it premiere in February 2000. The renowned soprano CeciIia BartoIi made her debut here as Fiordiligi, after having sung the two other "Cosi" roIes, Despina and DorabeIla, previousIy.
