Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro is one of the great comic operas of all time. With a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte after Beaumarchais, the opera combines sparkling comedy with a sharp portrait of desire, class and human weakness.
The story takes place in the household of Count Almaviva, where Figaro and Susanna are preparing for their wedding. Around them, the Count pursues Susanna, the Countess suffers from his infidelity, and the young Cherubino creates further confusion. Mozart turns this intricate comedy into a work of extraordinary musical elegance and emotional intelligence.
At the Vienna State Opera, Le nozze di Figaro is a wonderful choice for visitors who want to experience Mozart in one of the world’s great opera houses.
Figaro and Susanna are preparing for their wedding, but their plans are complicated by Count Almaviva, who has designs on Susanna. The Countess, hurt by her husband’s behaviour, joins Susanna in a plan to expose him.
A day of disguises, secret letters, mistaken identities and romantic confusion unfolds. By the end, the Count is forced to ask forgiveness, and the opera closes with reconciliation and celebration.
The performance takes place at the Vienna State Opera, one of the world’s leading opera houses, located directly on Vienna’s Ringstrasse.
