‘So do they all’. This is the title, in its literal translation into Portuguese, of the third work in a trio of operas written by Mozart in collaboration with librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. The last opera in Italian written by Mozart, it concludes a cycle dedicated to the ‘human comedy’, using the versatility characteristic of Opera Buffa to satirise, caricature and explore 19th century society, with its defects, excesses and ambivalence between the decadent false moralism of the time and the natural ethics of human values, whose presence was increasingly felt thanks to the Enlightenment.
This work, which was misunderstood at the time, but which has since managed to receive due recognition and praise in concert halls around the world, is today one of Mozart’s most famous operas, and is also a corollary of the so-called ‘Da Ponte trilogy’, filled with several pages of the most beautiful music in the operatic repertoire ever written.
