FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY and Denver, Colo. (September 17, 2026)—Celebrating its 20th anniversary, The Met: Live in HD continues its 2026–27 season with its first live transmission of the year, Mozart’s Così fan tutte on Saturday, October 3, at 1PM ET. Soprano Federica Lombardi and mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey star as the sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella, with tenor Duke Kim and baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky as their lovers, Ferrando and Guglielmo. All four singers make their Met role debuts. Set in Coney Island, the production features authentic sideshow and circus performers, including a fire breather, contortionists, a strongman, a snake charmer, and sword swallowers.

Soprano Ana María Martínez sings Despina, and bass-baritone Gerald Finley takes on the role of Don Alfonso. Maestro Nimrod David Pfeffer conducts.

In addition to director Phelim McDermott, the 1950s Coney Island–inspired staging features a production team that includes set designer Tom Pye, costume designer Laura Hopkins, and lighting designer Paule Constable.

Fathom Entertainment will also present two encores of Così fan tutte in theatres on Wednesday, October 7, at 1:00PM and 6:30PM local time.
