Reviews

Overall: 2.50

The Telegraph (11Jan01): [Calixto Bieito] soon lost my sympathy by igniting a coarse, hyperactive farce that tramples over the opera s delicate moral questions without providing any compensating comic flair. 2

The Sunday Times (11Jan01): [Calixto Bieito] has nothing new to tell us about Cosi fan tutte. WNO s record of the past few years is so outstanding that it should be allowed an occasional turkey like this. 3
