About: A winning cast
comes together for Phelim McDermott’s clever vision of Mozart’s comedy about
the sexes, set in a carnival-esque, funhouse environment inspired by 1950s
Coney Island—complete with bearded ladies, fire eaters, and a Ferris wheel. Manipulating the action are the
Don Alfonso of Christopher Maltman and the Despina of Tony Award–winner Kelli
O’Hara, with Amanda Majeski, Serena Malfi, Ben Bliss, and Adam Plachetka as the
pairs of young lovers who test each other’s faithfulness. David Robertson
conducts.
