Not So Cozy CosÌ
As a prelude to the opening night performance, composer and Princeton Symphony Orchestra Trustee Julian Grant will engage listeners in a talk describing how Mozart humanizes the sometimes cynical and sexist hi-jinks within Così fan tutte, and emerges with a comedic opera.
This talk is presented as a Princeton Symphony Orchestra BRAVO! community enrichment program. For more information about PSO BRAVO!, visit: princetonsymphony.org/education
Performances of Così fan tutte take place on the grounds of Morven Museum & Garden June 14, 16 and 18.
