Though performed in the original Italian, Peter Sellars' production of Così fan tutte relocates Mozart's comedy of love to the neon-and-chrome glare of a seaside diner, mirroring the turbulent world of late-twentieth-century America.

Also available is Peter Sellars' production of Don Giovanni, set in a foreboding East Harlem alley and coming soon, Peter Sellars' "Trump Tower" Marriage of Figaro.
