A rom-com battle of the sexes, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Così fan tutte Dress Rehearsal

Two officers, convinced all women are fickle in love, hatch a plan to switch places and woo each other’s fiancées in disguise — but the women know exactly what they’re up to from the start.

Hilarity and dazzling arias ensue in a 1930s-era seaside country club, where frothy costumes and splashy sets belie an undercurrent of distrust and deception on par with a binge-worthy reality show.

Conducted by Enrique Mazzola and featuring a fresh ensemble of star artists alongside Grammy honorees Ana María Martínez and Rod Gilfry, Così sets off vocal pyrotechnics that bubble and burst with athleticism.
