Deux hommes, Ferrando et Guglielmo, parient avec leur ami Don Alfonso que leurs fiancées sont incapables de leur être infidèles. Ils se déguisent alors tous deux afin d'essayer de séduire l'amante de l'autre, et éprouver si, comme le pense Don Alfonso, « elles font toutes ainsi » (Così fan tutte, en Italien) !

The Semperoper caused a sensation in November 2007 when it visited Japan for the first time in twenty-six years. The demand for tickets and the audience's enthusiasm were unprecedented, not least because the company was staging a piece that is performed more authentically in Dresden than anywhere else in the world: Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier, which received its first performance in Dresden in 1911. Leading the ensemble was the radiant-voiced and profoundly thoughtful Marschallin of Anne Schwanewilms.
