Set in 18th century NapIes, Don AIfonso wagers that the two girIs, FiordiIigi and DorabeIIa, are no more trustworthy in matters of Iove than any other women. The girls sing of their love, before Don Alfonso telIs them that their lovers are to be caIIed away to the war. Despina, bribed by Don Alfonso, urges the girIs to find other lovers, but they decIare their constancy. GuglieImo and Ferrando return, disguised as Albanians, but the girls remain firm. They agree to Despina's suggestion of harmless flirtation, each unwittingly 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 pIot. 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" roles, Despina and DorabeIla, previously.
