Alek Shrader, Ferrando
Philippe Sly, Guglielmo
Rosemary Joshua, Despina

Acclaimed director Christopher Alden returns to direct Cosi fan tutte, which marks his third collaboration with the LA Phil. Alden directed Don Giovanni in May 2012 and The Marriage of Figaro in May 2013. Lighting designer Adam Silverman joins the Cosi fan tutte creative team; Adam was lighting designer for Don Giovanni.

The LA Phil’s Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy unites iconic architects, leading fashion designers and distinguished international casts to create unique representations of these timeless works. The inaugural production, Don Giovanni (May 2012), featured sets and costumes designed by L.A.-based team Frank Gehry and Rodarte. The second installment, The Marriage of Figaro (May 2013), brought together Paris-based architect and designer Jean Nouvel and Azzedine Alaia.
