Opera
Le nozze di Figaro

Synopsis
Barrie Kosky, one of the most innovative opera directors of our time, creates a new interpretation of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro at the Vienna State Opera with a very young ensemble: Andrè Schuen and Hanna-Elisabeth Müller in the roles of Count and Countess Almaviva, Peter Kellner as Figaro, Patricia Nolz as Cherubino. Susanna’s role is interpreted by both Ying Fang (acting) and Maria Nazarova (singing), as Ying Fang could not sing due to a vocal cord illness. Philippe Jordan conducts the Orchestra of the Wiener Staatsoper and together they “deliver an ideal mixture of elegant lyricism and concentrated expression - each and every one” (Wiener Zeitung) // “Beauty and pointedness are combined in the noblest way.” (Der Standard) // “A triumph of Barrie Kosky’s directorial brilliance – hilarious yet deeply engaging and thought-provoking.” (klassik-begeistert.de)
