A satirical love story that takes a wry look at men and women against a backdrop of disguises, false goodbyes, and deceptions.

Any opera that translates broadly as: “All women are like that!” must be fertile territory for a female-led creative team to bring a fresh lens to this popular opera.

Underpinning all of this is Mozart’s beautiful score – perhaps his most radiant of all. Join us for New Zealand Opera’s main scale production of the year.
