Details: The second in DG's series of seven Mozart operas conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, initiated by Rolando Villazón in collaboration with the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, Universal Music Arts & Entertainment, and Rolex.

This Così fan tutte enchanted the Baden-Baden Festspielhaus audience when recorded in concert in 2012, with Nézet-Séguin inspiring his stellar cast to feats of vocal derring-do.

An enthusiastic advocate of Mozart's music, Rolando Villazón takes on the lead tenor role. Das Opernglas hailed his debut as Ferrando, calling him ideal for the role: "we have not heard a more beautiful, better sung and deeper felt 'Un aura amorosa' in a long time."

Starring a thrilling cast of both young and experienced Mozart opera stars, including accomplished soprano Mojca Erdmann as Despina, acclaimed Mozartian soprano Miah Persson, and prize-winning young American mezzo Angela Brower as the emotionally manipulated sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella. Also joining this crème de la crème cast are distinguished Mozart bass-baritone Adam Plachetka as Guglielmo and Italian buffo baritone Alessandro Corbelli as Alfonso.

Youthful exuberance tempered by depth of insight make this a rare Così, a must for even the most seasoned opera lover.
