Mozart's comic wit strikes again in perfect style for Valentine's Day weekend. Two men boast that their fiancees would never stray, so their buddy challenges them to a wager. "All women are fickle," he claims. They then try to seduce each other's betrothed in disguise as a test of their beloved's faithfulness. How far will this gamble go? When love is true, it passes all tests.

Opera in two acts, sung in Italian with projected English supertitles.
Location: Times-Union Center -- Moran Theater
