For decades after its premiere, the opera swept through the music capitals of Europe and beyond, enthralling audiences with its urgent, transcendentally beautiful use of melody; undeniably exhilarating drama; and, most importantly, astonishing vocal displays.

MET OPERA, “COSI FAN TUTTE”: SATURDAY, MARCH 31, BOWIE, MD: Will depart from Security at 12PM and return to Collington around 5:15PM. The third and final collaboration between Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte is a fascinating paradox: a frothy comedy of manners with an intensely dark take on human nature; an old story (it has antecedents in Boccaccio, Shakespeare, and Cervantes, among others) with a startlingly modern tone and a beautiful score. “Così fan tutte” was only moderately successful at its premiere and remained just outside the standard repertoire for more than a century. Così still poses unique challenges, and correspondingly unique rewards, for the public today. Every possible impression of love—from the loftiest to the basest—is explored in this extraordinary opera. “WOMEN HOUSE” NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WOMEN IN THE ARTS, MONDAY, MARCH 12, WASHINGTON, D.C.: Will depart from Security at 10AM; be back on the bus at 1:30PM to return to Collington. The deadline to sign up for this trip will be Thursday, March 8 by 12PM and tickets ($8) will be purchased on this day. This will be a self-guided tour and tickets will be under the name COLLINGTON.
