Bring Your Cell Phone to the Opera, Please

A coming production of Mozart's opera “Così fan tutte” will ask audience members to vote at intermission for which characters should be married in the opera’s final scene. The New York Times reports.

The production, called "Così fan Tutte: Defining Women," will be performed by the Underworld Productions Opera Ensemble at Symphony Space in Manhattan on April 29 and 30, and it invites theatergoers to vote by sending text messages from their cell phones. Cast members will then perform the democratically chosen ending.
