Mozart’s work has been de­
scribed by the director, John
Trudeau, associate m u s ic
professor at PSU, as showing
Mozart’s sense of humor as no
other opera he has written.
Stage director, Gerald Mor­
gan, resident member with the
American Theater Company
and the PSU theater arts facul­
ty, calls the onera “ pure wed­
ding cake comedv.”
Morgan, who has sung In al­
most 103 performances of the
opera in tne United States and
Canada, believes “ Cosl F an
Tutte” along with “ T h e
Marriage of Figaro” and "Don
Giovanni” are Mozart’s most
successful Italian operas.
An opera tn two acts, "Cosl
Fan Tutte" was o r g l n a l l y
