MET Opera Live: Le Nozze di Figaro

Saturday 26 April 2025

Cinema

Mozart’s timeless and profoundly humane comedy returns to Firstsite in MET Opera Live: Le Nozze di Figaro.

MET Opera Live: 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.

Da Ponte concentrated more on the timeless issues embedded in the frothy drawing-room comedy.

Conductor Joana Mallwitz, in her Met debut, takes the podium to conduct a stellar ensemble cast including American bass-baritone Michael Sumuel as the clever valet Figaro and Ukrainian soprano Olga Kulchynska as the wily maid Susanna.

Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins plays the skirt-chasing Count, Italian soprano Federica Lombardi will be his anguished wife, and French mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa is the adolescent page Cherubino.
