Le nozze di Figaro is Lorenzo Da Ponte’s and Mozart’s first of three jointly created operas about attempts at interpersonal relationships: a turbulent comedy with erotic entanglements, which was not a harmless comedy even in Mozart’s day. 

Director Martin Kušej moves the drama of love and jealousy to a mafia-like urban milieu where conflicts are fought with pistols. Young French conductor Raphaël Pichon, for the first time on the podium of the Wiener Philharmoniker, leads a young ensemble of singers around clan boss Almaviva (“vocally flawlessly brilliant André Schuen,” Hamburger Abendblatt).

“Kušej’s staging is musical, Pichon’s conducting theatrical; the two work together to a degree that is far more rare than it should be. Every detail has been carefully thought through, and the symbiosis is breathtaking.” (Financial Times)

“Martin Kušej’s new Figaro is slick, dark and grimly entertaining.” (Financial Times)

“One will rarely, if ever, hear Le nozze di Figaro so well balanced on stage, with such a homogeneous ensemble of such class, with such a precise Mozart sound.” (Frankfurter Rundschau)

History


WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
Le Nozze di Figaro

World premiere: Burgtheater, Vienna, 1786. A profoundly humane comedy, Le Nozze di Figaro is a remarkable marriage of Mozart’s music at the height of his genius and one of the best librettos ever set. In adapting a play that caused a scandal with its revolutionary take on 18th-century society, librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte focused less on the original topical references and more on the timeless issues embedded in the frothy drawing-room comedy.
