György Vashegyi & Liszt Academy Symphony Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

György Vashegyi, head of the Liszt Academy early music department and one of Hungary’s foremost exponents of historically informed performance, coaches students of the vocal department of the Liszt Academy as well as its orchestra and chorus in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most problematic opera (and from a musical aspect, perhaps his work of the highest order). The piece, which boasts the most virtuoso arias in the Mozart oeuvre, has the two male protagonists put the loyalty of their lovers to the test for a bet, as if it were a single big moral question mark: Mozart and his brilliant librettist Lorenzo da Ponte query the moral boundaries of love. Géza Fodor expressed it thus: “Così fan tutte is a matchless, unique phenomenon of 18th century art and all opera, an unlikely, playful light dance between life and ideal.”
