Cosi fan tutte is something special amongst the three opera buffa on which Mozart collaborated with Da Ponte.
Cosi fan tutte is in a poor position- being more or less "overshadowed" by the "big three." I believe had neither of the other three been composed, Cosi fan tutte would be regarded as the best opera ever composed...you could even argue that it is with the other three?
Even with it's powerful brothen, Cosi fan tutte is a wonderful opera, containing some of Mozart's most sublime and beautiful music...This opera, and this recording must not be missed.

 Cosi Fan Tutte - New English Translation by Joe St Johanser (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
'Cosi' was the last of his three comic operas with plot and words by Lorenzo Da Ponte, a partnership some have called the most creative artistic collaboration the world has known.
The opera was popular and frequently performed for the next twenty or so years and then sank into virtual oblivion for the rest of the nineteenth century, a victim of the distaste of the Victorians for its 'modern' attitude to sex.
The text of 'Cosi' was not overly shocking at the time in the sophisticated artistic circles of Vienna.

 INKPOT#72 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MOZART Così fan tutte - An Inktroduction

 Updated 'Cosi fan tutte' opens with flair
And so, the company approached Jonathan Miller's updating of Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte" to the late 20th century with caution.
This "Cosi," which dates to 1995 at Covent Garden, with stops in New York, is his product: concept, set design and costumes.
Begin with the decor: It is minimal, an essay in oyster and creamy whites, with a few French side chairs, a huge mirror before which everyone preens, a doorway with out-of-scale pediments, a futon loaded with pillows, odds and ends.

 Online Review London - Cosi Fan Tutte
Scholars and aficionados debate Cosi Fan Tutte's magical combination of Da Ponte's light libretto and Mozart's exquisite and often profound score, claiming – with much justice – that in the soul-searching of Fiordiligi and Ferrando there are darker shadows than the bright light of the frank and sometimes cynical Enlightenment knew how to throw.
The trappings fell into insignificance beside the music, all of which flows from the summit of Mozart's achievement, and the gripping and in part unsettling mixture of comedy and tragedy it conveys.
In any disguise Cosi Fan Tutte is a work of genius, and when attention turns from the spellbinding music to the debate it enfolds, one is left asking more questions than Alfonso seems to propose at the outset – a characteristic legacy of great art.

The most remarkable thing about the star of West Bay Opera's "Cosi Fan Tutte" was not that he never actually set foot on stage, nor that he never sang a note.
Respect, in fact, is the soul of "Cosi," which, until the 20th century, was not really considered a serious work.
Perhaps what operateurs finally noticed is that, no matter how artificial the situation, Mozart and da Ponte insist on delving into their characters' genuine motives and feelings.
