Synopsis

ACT I

SCENE I

A café in Naples. Don Alfonso, an old bachelor philosopher, discusses the faithfulness of women with his friends Ferrando and Guglielmo, two young officers who insist that their sweethearts, two sisters Dorabella and Fiordiligi, are faithful to them. Don Alfonso bets one hundred gold coins that, if they give him one day and do everything he asks, he will prove their sweethearts are unfaithful.

 

SCENE II

A garden overlooking the sea. Fiordiligi and Dorabella are comparing pictures of their sweethearts when Don Alfonso pays a visit, bringing news that Guglielmo and Ferrando have been ordered away with their regiment. The two men appear, and the sisters sadly say goodbye to them. A boat arrives on the shore with a group of soldiers, and Guglielmo and Ferrando join them. Don Alfonso is delighted with his plan and convinced that he will win the bet.

 

SCENE III

The parlour of Fiordiligi and Dorabella’s house. The maid Despina complains about a servant’s life while preparing some hot chocolate. The sisters appear and tell the maid about their misfortune. Despina does not give it much importance and consoles her mistresses, advising them to forget their old lovers with the help of new ones, as Ferrando and Guglielmo will probably do while away at the front. The sisters, scandalized by Despina’s advice, leave in anger. Don Alfonso takes advantage of the fact that Despina is alone and convinces her to help him to introduce the sisters to new suitors: two exotic Albanians, who are actually Ferrando and Guglielmo in disguise. Don Alfonso’s plan is that each one will woo the other’s sweetheart to prove that women are naturally unfaithful. Fiordiligi and Dorabella receive the newcomers without much interest, pushing them away. When the three men are alone, Ferrando and Guglielmo laugh at Don Alfonso’s failed plan and are sure they will win the bet. They are overjoyed, but the old philosopher reminds them that the day is not over yet.

 

SCENE IV

The sisters have retreated to a garden. Don Alfonso arrives with the Albanians, who claim to have taken poison. With this new strategy he expects the young women to be affectionate and compassionate with the men who are fatally ill. The women call Despina, who leaves them caring for the foreigners while she fetches the doctor. The maid returns disguised as the doctor and pretends to draw off the poison with a magnet, then watches with Don Alfonso as Fiordiligi and Dorabella waver under new declarations of love from their admirers. Ferrando and Guglielmo are now not so sure they will win the bet.

ACT II

SCENE I

A room in the sisters’ house. Despina urges Fiordiligi and Dorabella to choose their favourite and each one picks the other’s suitor, according to Don Alfonso’s plan.

 

SCENE II

A garden overlooking the sea. After the Albanians serenade the sisters, Despina and Don Alfonso leave the four young people together. Guglielmo, who is courting Dorabella, succeeds in replacing her portrait of Ferrando with a new charm. Ferrando has no such luck with Fiordiligi, who still thinks of Guglielmo. When the two men meet up later, Ferrando is furious over Dorabella’s betrayal and Guglielmo is pleased with Fiordiligi’s steadfastness. But Don Alfonso is not finished yet.

 

SCENE III

Under Despina’s supervision, Dorabella tries to persuade Fiordiligi to give in to the charming Albanian, but Fiordiligi insists that they must meet their sweethearts at the front. Ferrando persists with his amorous advances, however, and this time he wins her over. Now Guglielmo is furious. The two friends are angry. Don Alfonso calms them down and suggests they continue with the farce, giving little importance to the girls’ unfaithfulness. He suggests they marry their respective sweethearts who they have won over. In that way they will see how far the two women are prepared to go and will teach them a lesson. After all, “that’s what they all do” (così fan tutte), the three friends conclude.

 

SCENE IV

Nightfall. The two sisters and the Albanians are married by a notary, none other than Despina in disguise once more. As they sign the contracts, the women hear a military march in the distance that announces the return of their suitors. Fiordiligi and Dorabella hurriedly hide the Albanians and try to compose themselves in order to receive Ferrando and Guglielmo, who have taken off their disguises and enter dressed as soldiers. Confessions are made by the sisters and they ask for the men’s forgiveness. Don Alfonso asks the lovers to learn from this lesson and they all join together in song, as the day comes to a happy end.
