Le nozze di Figaro

Mozart's endearing comedy of schemes and disguises explores the social constructs of power and class. It's a busy day in the manor house as the wily valet Figaro and his quick-witted fiancée Susanna prepare for their wedding. But Count Almaviva wants Susanna for himself, and he's used to getting his way. With the help of the slighted Countess, Figaro and Susanna work to turn the manor upside down in order to exchange their holy vows of matrimony. Set at the birth of America, Erhard Rom's set design features scaffolding, blueprints, and freshly plastered walls suggesting a new world emerging that challenges old ideals. Conductor Sebastian Weigle makes an exciting house debut on the podium.
