Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro
Polish bass Krzysztof Baczyk and French soprano Sabine Devieilhe as Figaro and his wife-to-be Susanna, lead a starry international cast in Mozart's enduring comic masterpiece.
A philandering count, determined to exercise his droit de seigneur with his wily valet's bride-to-be on her wedding day.... a humiliated countess bent on revenge... and a sex-obsessed cross-dressed, cross-dressing teenager...
Subversive and funny, poignant and thought-provoking, Mozart's comedy is one of the greatest operas of all time, packed full of unforgettable tunes, telling characterisation, and trenchant observation both of society's iniquities and the human condition.
Kate Molleson introduces an acclaimed performance recorded at this year's Salzburg Festival, and she talks to Martin Nedbal from the University of Kansas about Figaro's origins and the ever-changing reactions to the opera in different countries at different times.
