Le Nozze di Figaro
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

April 27 and May 18 @ 1:00pm

(English Subtitles)

Mozart’s music makes Le Nozze di Figaro one of the finest jewels in the opera repertory, with a wealth of famous melodies that start from the familiar first notes of the energetic Overture. A London highlight of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth, David McVicar’s spellbinding production illuminates Mozart’s masterpiece shifting the action to a French chateau in the aftermath of the 1830 revolution. At the tragic heart of the opera, Gerald Finley’s suave, dashingly self-absorbed Count and Dorothea Röschmann’s passionately dignified Countess are deadlocked in a romantic contest that impacts dramatically on the court’s feisty valet Figaro (Erwin Schrott) and his fiancé, the sassy Susanna (Miah Persson). The late-summer beauty of Paule Constable’s lighting and Tanya McCallin’s evocative sets provide the perfect backdrop for the invigorating wit and emotional depth Antonio Pappano’s conducting and the Royal Opera House Orchestra. An international cast graces The Royal Opera’s production, starring Erwin Schrott, Gerald Finley, Miah Persson, Dorothea Röschmann, Rinat Shaham.

‘This sexy, raunchy, romp of an opera is a triumph. Fun filled, sensitive, romantic and serious by turns. This is a 'Must See' opera! ...You'll regret it if you don't!’ - Musical Opinion.
