Sat. 1 pm – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart “Così fan tutte” on the Metropolitan Opera matinee. WRUU – 107.5 is Savannah’s home now for this radio tradition that goes back to 1931. 03/07/2020.

The opera was originally set in Naples. With its natural beauty and abundant sunshine, the city became the equivalent of a tourist destination in the 18th century. It has been suggested that the preponderance of woodwinds in the score is meant to evoke the breezy atmosphere of the seashore.The Met’s current production updates the action to an amusement park inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s.
