The Departed - the opera Costello watched - was it Cosi Fan Tutte?

Various scenes where Frank was either watching or listening to an opera. I'm guessing this was Cosi Fan Tutte, given the themes of deception, identity and betrayal, but I don't know the opera! Can anyone confirm/deny?!

I haven't seen the movie, but if the opera included two guys telling their girls they were going off to war, and then returning dressed as Albanians, then that's Cosi. They drink "poison" when the girls refuse them and the maid, Despina, dresses up as a doctor and uses and huge magnet to cure them. They continue to woo the girls and eventually get them to fall for them.



I couldn't find any info on which opera was used on www.imdb.com, but check here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407887/
