WRY COMEDY ABOUT LOVE-LE NOZZE DI FIGARO – BY WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART

Opera buffa in four acts (1786)
Sung in ItalianLibretto
Lorenzo da Ponte

Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro is a comic opera riddled with intrigues, disguises, mixed-up identities and double entendres. An opera about love: from randy excitement to melancholic disillusionment.

THE PLOT

For Figaro and Susanna, their upcoming wedding is a real obstacle course. The lustful Count Almaviva tries to put the moves on Susanna, who needs all her wits to dodge his advances, and Figaro’s guile is put to the test as he tries to undermine the Count’s power plays and sexual cat-and-mouse-games.
