Kammeróperan

Così fan tutte - Opera Dinner

Così fan tutte - Opera Dinner marked Kammerópera's debut, featuring Mozart's beloved work. A new Icelandic translation by Bjarni Thor Kristinsson resonated well with guests. Attendees are served a three course meal whilst enjoying the opera performed around them. A unique time-travel experience to early 20th-century Iceland, with performers as restaurant owners and servants. A lighthearted atmosphere prevails, with humor as the opera's backbone. Ideal for first-time opera-goers.
