Mozart's comic opera, Cosi Fan Tutte, has both delighted and puzzled opera audiences for over 200 years. Sextet tells the story from this musical masterpiece through highly entertaining verse and illustrations. A short Introduction provides insights into the intentions of the composer and librettist; and the text and illustrations themselves suggest possible new interpretations of this brilliant and witty essay on the turmoil of young love. Sextet is a delightful companion for those already familiar with the opera and an ideal introduction for those approaching it for the first time. Sextet is the third publication in the OPERARHYMES Collection (www.operarhymes.com), telling the stories from the world's greatest operas in illustrated verse form.
