Mezzo soprano, Cornelia Lanz rehearses Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte" in Germany
It's an opera about love played out by four main characters, whose loyalties are put to the test by a bet.
Things take a turn for the worse when the four lovers each discover they've all fallen head over heels for the other's partner.
When it premiers in Stuttgart Germany October 5th -- it will also be about war and include Syrian refugees in the cast.
For Lanz performing the opera has been a life time dream...and one with a message of peace.
