When a genius with words joins forces with a composer of genius, the results can be pure magic. Just think of Verdi and Boito, Gilbert and Sullivan, and Rodgers and Hammerstein. One of the most brilliant collaborations between a librettist and composer was that of Lorenzo Da Ponte and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Lyric Opera of Kansas City will present one of their masterpieces, “Così Fan Tutte,” beginning Saturday at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
