Synopsis of the opera:
In a cafe, Ferrando and Guglielmo (two officers) express certainty that their fiancées (Dorabella and Fiordiligi, respectively) will be eternally faithful. Don Alfonso expresses skepticism and claims that there is no such thing as a faithful woman. He lays a wager with the two officers, claiming he can prove in a day's time that those two, like all women, are fickle.
I just attended a performance of a dear colleague and friend who will be leaving town for school in Chicago next week. She sang one of the lead female roles—in fact, the character who falls for a seduction! She herself is a gorgeous, German-decent blonde with whom I performed a number of small time gigs, although I refrained from attempting to seduce her because I firmly stand by the philosophy, "don't shit where you eat."
The last time I studied this opera had to have been over fifteen years ago when I was attending university music school, and back then, I'm sure the libretto (story) must have offended my then-religious mind.
Just thought I would throw this up for you guys: even Mozart knew his shit when it came to women. Seduction is nothing new—carry on, gentlemen!
