ROCKLAND — The Strand Theatre will continue its 2026-2027 season of Metropolitan Opera simulcasts with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Cosi fan Tutte,” a satirical comedy of fickle young love, on Saturday, Oct. 3, at 1 p.m. An encore screening will be presented Thursday, Oct. 8, at 5 p.m.

"Producer Phelim McDermott’s staging, inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s, sets the uproarious story at a boardwalk amusement park, where the two pairs of lovers at the heart of the tale find themselves on one emotional—and literal—thrill ride after another," said a Strand Theatre news release.

Soprano Federica Lombardi and mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey sing Fiordiligi and Dorabella, opposite tenor Duke Kim and baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky, as Ferrando and Guglielmo. Bass-baritone Gerald Finley reprises his portrayal of the cynical Don Alfonso, with soprano Ana María Martínez as the witty maid Despina. 

Estimated running time is: 3 hrs 35 min, including one intermission. 

This season’s series at the Strand is generously supported by Edward Jones financial advisors.
