Company will travel to the Gulf Coast to share Mozart鈥檚 comedy, Cos铆 fan tutte. The free concert will take place Tuesday, April 11, at 7 p.m. at Mississippi Gulf
Coast Community College鈥檚 Fine Arts Building Auditorium on the Harrison County campus.
The humorous production tells the story of two young soldiers who make a bet that their fianc茅es will remain faithful to them even in the face of temptation. As a result, a manner of hilarious miscommunications, awkward situations, and emotional scenarios ensue. Will the young ladies prove faithful, or will they give in to temptation? Will they turn the tables and play a trick on their men?
鈥淎udiences have come to love this show, making it a classic in the regular productions of many opera companies worldwide,鈥� said Dr. Jonathan Yarrington, a voice professor in the 草榴社区 School of Music. As director and narrator of the production, Yarrington says, 鈥淏eautiful music and voices, along with detailed costumes by Tammy Mansfield make this a beautiful production to see and hear.鈥�
