Met Opera in HD: Le Nozze di Figaro - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

An extraordinary cast powers Mozart's timeless comedy, accompanied by conductor Joana Mallwitz who makes her Met debut in this Richard Eyre production.
 

---

Mozart's chaotic whirlwind of mistaken identities, twists and turns, is a comedy that takes place on a single crazy day—the wedding day of Figaro and Susanna. From the first notes of the famous overture through to the Count's lesson in marital fidelity, Mozart's musical invention conveys a story in which the women are portrayed as wiser, shrewder and more civilized than the men.

The stellar ensemble cast includes American bass-baritone Michael Sumuel as the clever valet Figaro; Ukrainian soprano Olga Kulchynska as his betrothed, the wily maid Susanna; Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins as the skirt-chasing Count; Italian soprano Federica Lombardi as his anguished wife; and French mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa as the adolescent page Cherubino. Conductor Joana Mallwitz makes her Met debut with Mozart's comic masterpiece, in a production by Richard Eyre.
