<\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\nThe Macao Orchestra (OM, from the Portuguese acronym) of the Cultural Affairs Bureau presents its 2015-16 Concert Season Closing Concert \u201cCos\u00ec fan tutte\u201d on Saturday, 30 July, at 8pm, at the Macao Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium. The concert is led by L\u00fc Jia and OM invited young singers Jinxu Xiahou, Yunpeng Wang, Louise Kwong, Xiao Yi Xu, Ao Li and Xi Wang to collaborate in the performance of Mozart\u2019s two act opera Cosi fan tutte<\/em>. Tickets are available through the Macau Ticketing Network.<\/p>\n Cosi fan tutte<\/em> is one of three of Mozart\u2019s well-known operas, side by side with \u201cThe Marriage of Figaro<\/em>\u201d and Don Giovanni<\/em>. It portrays the story of two brothers who, in order to prove their loved ones\u2019 devotion, make a bet and exchange brides, putting their love and fidelity to the test. \u201cThere is no difference between 18th<\/sup> century love and 21st<\/sup> century love. Men and women are still the same…\u201d, \u201cThe prelude of this opera quickly intensifies carried out by men and women\u2019s considerations on love, ending on a cheerful note and expressing love\u2019s wisdom and philosophy\u201d. From a modern perspective, this work\u2019s plot seems somewhat absurd, however, thanks to Mozart\u2019s astoundingly perfect music, this has become one of the composers most often staged operas.<\/p>\n Six renowned young singers from Mainland China and Hong Kong, each with their own solo, interpret the six characters of this opera where music and arias are beautifully interwoven. Through Mozart\u2019s extraordinary composition technique, not only does music gracefully carry a dramatic action and vividly portray the characters nature but also deeply reflects, reveals and provides insight into the different layers of human psyche, human nature\u2019s grey areas and even ethical and moral paradoxes. In the current times, this work offers even more room for interpretation and has been increasingly hailed by the critics as one of Mozart\u2019s most profound opera buffa<\/em>. The concert will be led by OM\u2019s Principal Conductor, L\u00fc Jia, and marks the closing of the Orchestra\u2019s 2015-2016 Concert Season.<\/p>\n Tickets for OM\u2019s Concert Season Closing Concert \u201cCosi fan tutte\u201d are on sale at the prices of MOP350, MOP250 and MOP150 and there are several discount plans available.
