FIGAROS BRÖLLOP - Live from met

The Marriage of Figaro is one of Mozart's most beloved operas, filled with love and comedy. On April 26, this timeless comedy returns to theaters worldwide with a live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera. The Marriage of Figaro is a meeting between Mozart's musical highlights and one of the best librettos ever created. Adapting a play that created a scandal with its revolutionary approach to 18th-century society, librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte focused less on the original references and more on the timeless issues embedded in everyday comedy. The Marriage of Figaro premiered at the Burgtheater in Vienna in 1786.
 

Conductor Joana Mallwitz makes her Met debut and takes the baton to lead a brilliant ensemble. The American bass-baritone Michael Sumuel is the sly servant Figaro and the Ukrainian soprano Olga Kulchynska the cunning servant Susanna. Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins the womanizing count, Italian soprano Federica Lombardi his tormented wife and French mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa the young page Cherubino.
