Notes and Editorial Reviews

Also available on standard DVD

From the opening notes of the overture to the final curtain, Emilio Sagi’s classic, triumphant production brings to life all the elegant wit and theatricality of Mozart’s comic masterpiece. A continuation of the plot of The Barber of Seville, set several years later, The Marriage of Figaro explores the intricate relationships between men and women of different social classes, weaving passion and humor with genuine dramatic tension. Leading baritone Ludovic Tézier shines as the lustful Count Almaviva who attempts to obtain the favors of Figaro’s bride-to-be Susanna (Isabel Rey), while Luca Pisaroni gives a feisty performance as Read more Figaro. Conductor Jesús López Cobos masterfully captures the enchanting score. A witty yet profound tale of love, betrayal, and forgiveness!

“An incontestable success … full of Sevillian atmosphere. [Tézier] is in exceptional vocal shape and the role suits him perfectly.” — MusicWeb-International
