They have no idea that the two men, under a wager from Don Alfonso, are testing their loyalty.Now instead of being the dutiful helpless women and answering to their men, Meeker’s Dorabella and Fiordiligi are empowered to follow their own destinies.
“No one is the same after that,” she explained. “We decided as we listened to the text and the music that there’s no reason why everything has to go back to happily ever after. ... The characters are really left to make their own choices.” “This is going to be musically fantastic. It’s really entertaining. There are fabulous, wonderful human lessons to be learned within the piece, but in a lovely, delicious comedic manner,” said Meeker, the general and artistic director of Opera San Antonio in Texas.
