The two girls have no idea that a practical joke is played on them, of course. First they turn down the strangers, even if the men threaten them with suicide. Later, however, the girls get friendlier and they are overcome by passion. When the wives-to-be agree to marry their new lovers, Don Alfonso wins the wager. The real fiancés return, uncover the conspiracy and forgive the unfaithful ladies.
The opera was performed only in Vienna and Prague during Mozart’s life. In Pest-Buda it was performed first by a German opera company in 1797. The Budapest Opera billed the Così fan tutte in 1930, 140 years after the world première.
