Cosi fan tutti

Nowadays Così Fan Tutte is a work that can be considered as part of the main repertoire, although it does not enjoy the popularity of other Mozart operas, like Don Giovanni, Nozze di Figaro or Zauberflöte. Nevertheless, in Bilbao Così Fan Tutte is not particularly popular and has been staged there by ABAO on only on one occasion some 10 years ago. The only other performance in Bilbao was by an opera company from Eastern Europe touring Spain almost 15 years earlier.

Last time we had artists such as Barbara Frittoli and José Bros, and here the main interest was based on the presence of Soile Isokoski, and the more than emergent mezzo - soprano Maite Beaumont, in addition to the prestigious orchestra Al Ayre Español with their leader Eduardo Lopez Banzo. Unfortunately, Maite Beaumont cancelled due to apparent health problems, although many rumours were running arounf on the subject of her cancellation. ABAO took the decision to substitute her for her cover, which could have been a more than acceptable solution if it were a cancellation at the eleventh hour, but this was not the case, since the decision was taken not less than 10 days prior to the premiere. When you have to pay over 150 euros for a single ticket, it is not a good policy to substitute a well known singer for an understudy, even one who has been singing comprimario roles (Priestess in the last Aida) for many years. Some readers may remember what Peter Gelb did in New York in October, when Joseph Kaiser cancelled Romeo just one day before the performance. Instead of taking the cover (Raúl Melo) he had Marcello Giordani step in the role. I think that there is a big difference in the way of solving cancellations between New York and Bilbao and how both managements decided to protect the interest of their customers. Despina is not very difficult to cast and the general conclusion locally is that ABAO decided to take the easy way out.
