Mozart’s iconic comedy is one of the world’s best loved operas. We now present it in a completely new production, made by the same creative team that created Il barbiere di Siviglia in spring 2024. The characters are older, less naïve, more world weary and decadent, but very human.

It is Figaro’s and Susanna’s wedding day. But not only the bride and groom are looking forward to it. The Count is more interested in Susanna than in the Countess. She, in turn, mourns her husband’s lack of affection at the same time as she is flattered by Cherubino, who is obsessed with her – and, it seems, every other woman. Le nozze di Figaro is a whirlwind of love, desire and complications, and a portrayal of the demise of the old system.
