Staged by Sven-Eric Bechtolf, this Così Fan Tutte is true to text, humorous and precise, its classically aestheticinterpretation is good for "a whole lot of laughs" (Münchner Merkur)
The fresh ensemble gives it all on stage : Gerald Finley as Don Alfonso, exercising his "noble, supple baritone"(Salzburger Nachrichten); the New York Times rates him "outstanding". The two sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella,come across well: "a feast of fine voices … special praise for Malin Hartelius as Fiordiligi and Marie-Claude Chappuisas Dorabella" writes the Donaukurier. Luca Pisaroni, "the world's most sought after Guglielmo" (New York Times)enchants with the "splendid timbres of his sonorous and colourful baritone" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) whileMartin Mitterrutzner as Ferrando "dispatched all three arias with ease" (New York Times).
The Vienna Philharmonic, for the first time in a Salzburg Festival opera production, conducted by ChristophEschenbach, whose interpretation ensures "drive and sharp dynamic contrast" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and"dramatic outbursts " in the orchestra pit (Der Standard).

"Gerald Finley plays Don Alfonso as an earnest but good-humoured scientist intent upon establishing his proofs of human nature, whatever the cost…[Martin Mitterrutzner's] sweet tone offsets [Luca Pisaroni's] greater vocal aggression…the fresh, fragrant tone of the Swedish soprano Malin Hartelius's Fiordiligi [forms] a neat contrast with the greater tonal warmth and personality of Swiss mezzo Marie-Claude Chappuis's Dorabella" (BBC Music)
"It is all beautifully performed by a convincingly young-looking cast. Malin Hartelius sings a ravishing 'Per pietà'…Martin Mitterrutzner's free, easy tenor is just right for the high-lying part of Ferrando…Gerald Finley is a wryly humorous Alfonso. Under Christoph Eschenbach, the Vienna Philharmonic is admirably light on its feet." Gramophone
