All women are the same, right? Not to be trusted! Well, meddling Don Alfonso seems to think so. In fact, he’s so certain, he’s putting his money on it. Determined to prove his point, he persuades his two friends Ferrando and Guglielmo to put their fiancées’ loyalty to the ultimate test.
The plans are set, and the bet is made. The men will pretend to be called away to war but instead will return in disguise and have 24 hours to attempt to seduce each other’s sweethearts – Fiordiligi and Dorabella – who are unwittingly enjoying a fun day out at the fair.
Will heads be turned? Can there be any winners? There’s only one way to find out.
