Who composed the music and who wrote the words to the opera Cosi Fan Tutti?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the music and Lorenzo da Ponte was the librettist for the opera Cosi fan tutte (note the spelling of the last word :)

The title means something like "That's what they all do" where the "they" is feminine (that's why the word needs the "e" ending rather than the "i", which would be masculine). Thus, "That's what all women do" :)

What is the value of a 78 record of caruso singing rigoletto on a victrola record?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm sorry to say, virtually nothing. Caruso's records are only rare and desirable if they are incredibly early recordings (like from 1900), are in great condition, and did not sell many copies. "Rigoletto" sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and you can find it anywhere in virtually perfect shape and pay no more than $1 for it.

According to Wikipedia, "Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century (Jacopo Peri's lost Dafne, produced in Florence about 1597) and soon spread through the rest of Europe: Schütz in Germany, Lully in France, and Purcell in England all helped to establish their national traditions in the 17th century."

Found this in a Wikipedia article about opera:

Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century (with Jacopo Peri's lost Dafne, produced in Florence in 1598) and soon spread through the rest of Europe.

As always, though, you have to verify the information on your own. Hope this helps!

Where did Mozart's Don Giovanni premiere?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Little short Mozart, just on five foot tall, composed what is probably the tallest opera ever written, in 1787, the same year as Salieri's Axur, Cimarosa's I tre amanti and Kozeluh's Mose in Egitto. A composer called Gazzaniga also wrote a Don Giovanni the same year, earlier in fact, and most likely showed Mozart how not to write the opera.
