Rose Garden of Love
The opera performance combines the humor and human intricacies of Mozart’s masterpieces ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ and ‘Così fan tutte,’ creating a tragicomic tale of love, betrayal, and cunning twists. The piece invites the audience to laugh while also reflecting on how easily hearts can be led astray in the rose garden of love.
