The Glimmerglass Festival

Donizetti’s Viva la Mamma hilariously portrays a theatrical company struggling with a stage mother who insists on controlling every aspect of her son's career, much to the director’s dismay. Dueling divas, a meddling maestro and grocer/poet complicate the production woes. Amidst chaos and comedic mishaps, the opera satirizes operatic stereotypes, showcasing the absurdities and egos within the world of theater - all with glorious bel canto melodies and some terrific singing.

Viva la Mamma!

Così fan tutte is Mozart’s most polarizing opera. Often considered the perfect ensemble opera, Così features ravishing melodies and glorious arias, duets, and sextets. The emotionally complex and quick-fire comedy offers an examination of sexual attitudes and the battle between love, reason, and human fallibility.
