By David Salazar

Opera NexGen has announced the official casting for its virtual performance of Mozart’s “Così fan tutte,” which is currently scheduled for March 12 and 14, 2021.

The performance, which will be conducted by Jesse Leong and directed by Lauren Lenz, will star Claire Galloway as Fiordiligi, Taylor-Alexis DuPont as Dorabella, Arianna Paz as Despina, Matthew Reynolds as Guglielmo, Angel Romero as Ferrando, and Jeremy Harr as Don Alfonso.

“Opera NexGen wants our audience to see how far opera can go. We are bringing as pure of an acoustic experience into people’s homes as possible. The pandemic has given many organizations time to develop and adapt, and we hope to provide a model to keep the performances going at a high level,” the company told OperaWire via email.

The company also announced the cover cast, which includes Kiena Williams as Fiordiligi, Jacquelyn Matava as Dorabella, Alyssa Click as Despina, Jacob Surzyn as Guglielmo, Josaphat Contreras as Ferrando, and Phillip Lopez as Don Alfonso.

Audiences can check out the performance directly on the company’s official website. The March 12 performance kicks off at 7 p.m. with the  March 14 showcase set for 2 p.m.
