Le nozze di Figaro« is rightly regarded as a prime example of a musical comedy. Together with his librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, the 30-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had created an opera that set new standards - with its vitality, its lightning-fast turns, its multiple trials and tribulations and a music that carries deep sensitivity as well as humour and wit.

With Mozart's three Da Ponte operas, director Vincent Huguet and conductor Daniel Barenboim embark on a journey through time in which the characters evolve and transform. Young people's loves and sorrows come onto the stage in the form of both true and feigned emotions - although in the case of »Figaro«, which forms the second part of this trilogy, these worlds are set in the 80s with their special style and charm. Fast pace and situation comedy come to the fore as well as thoughtfulness and melancholy. The immense art of differentiation, as it is so vividly shown in Mozart's marvelous work, will also be reflected in the musical and scenic presentation.
