LE NOZZE DI FIGARO

30 May – 23 July 2024

Our legendary John Cox production of Le nozze di Figaro returns with Bruno Ravella as revival director and with Robert Perdziola’s beautiful design, first seen at Garsington Manor. Cox’s elegant traditional staging brings the characters to life with humanity and empathy. At its heart is the wonder of Mozart with the Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of Tabita Berglund, praised for her visionary and energetic Mozart interpretations.

It’s Susanna and Figaro’s wedding day and the chaos that ensues is full of delusion, disguise and misunderstanding. Count Almaviva is in pursuit of Susanna and Barbarina, the Countess is deeply unhappy, the cheeky teenage page Cherubino is constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time, Basilio makes trouble wherever he can, and the scheming Bartolo and Marcellina do their utmost to thwart the marriage plans for their own motives.
