Review: COC’s ‘Così fan tutte’ Shines Despite #MeToo Era Questions

The Canadian Opera Company’s remount of its 2014 production of Cosí Fan Tutte, originally directed by Atom Egoyan, brings to bear all of the performance and creative excellence for which the COC is known. However, in the post- #MeToo era, and amidst the Cornell 7 scandal, this 236-year-old work hits different. A discerning viewer in 2026 can’t fail to notice the centuries-long throughline of misogynistic beliefs about women’s sexuality and bodily autonomy that raises questions about the role of art in preserving and dismantling social systems.
