Sin City Opera Brings Mozart's Beloved Così Fan Tutte To The Stage


Sin City Opera presents Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s beloved opera buffa, Così Fan Tutte at the Winchester Cultural Center February 12th – 21st, 2016.  This turn of the century, steampunk-influenced adaptation is produced by the local and cutting-edge Sin City Opera, whose objective it is to “push the boundaries of opera and how it relates to us as a community.  We did not want to present a standard version of the opera in which the two female leads are easily duped by mistaken identity.  Instead we wanted to present strong female characters that are more interested in science and invention than just swooning over sweet words.”

International Director & Choreographer, Tammy Pessagno, will make her Sin City Opera directorial debut with Così Fan Tutte.  Tammy started her career as a Broadway dancer with multiple U.S. and International tours under her belt.  She moved to Las Vegas in 1994 and became an Artist in Residence at UNLV and created curriculum for the Las Vegas Academy.  Dean Balan will take his first turn as Maestro of the SCO Orchestra with this thoughtful and bold production.  Dean is currently the Sin City Opera Chorus Master and rehearsal pianist as well as a much sought-after collaborative pianist throughout the Las Vegas valley. MAC Cosmetics will be creating signature looks for the wiley characters, as well as sponsoring the make-up needs for the show.
