Sung in Italian with English subtitles with one intermission. Part of the Salzburg Festival. With the new production of MozartÂ's Cosí Fan Tutte from the coming Salzburg Festival 2009, the German Director Claus Guth will conclude his Mozart/Da Ponte cycle, which he first started with Â"Le Nozze di FigaroÂ" (starring Anna Netrebko) in 2006, followed by Â"Don GiovanniÂ" (starring Christopher Maltman, Erwin Schrott, Matthew Polenzani, Annette Dasch, Dorothea Röschmann) in 2008. The Hungarian Conductor Adam Fischer, whose recordings of Haydn's Symphonies No. 88 and 101 won the Echo Prize in 2008, will conduct the Vienna Philharmonic. The Swedish Soprano Miah Persson, guest at many international companies and festivals, will act as Fiordiligi. Appearing as her sister Dorabella will be Isabel Leonard. This young Mezzo-Soprano is already making waves in the world of classical music both at home in the US and abroad. The Finnish tenor Topi Lehtipuu will perform as Ferrando. He gained world-wide recognition for his interpretation of the major Mozart roles. Performing the role of Guglielmo is the Austrian Baritone Florian Boesch, who in 2003 made his operatic debut with Opernhaus Zürich as Papageno. The French Soprano Patricia Petibon is appearing as Despina.
