Les Noces de Figaro is one of the most emblematic operas in the repertoire. Brahms spoke of it as a "miracle" and the Countess' complaint still resonates today as one of the most heartbreaking musical pages. By resuming the comedy of Beaumarchais which was at the origin of a scandal which stirred up the whole of Parisian society, Mozart and Da Ponte ensured their success. The play had even been banned by Joseph II in 1785 at the Théâtre de Vienne. Should it expose too much on the front of the stage the contradictions of an already vacillating regime, ready to sink with the French Revolution? Netia Jones 'new production retains the very essence of Beaumarchais' play by humorously but playfully questioning human relationships, in a production which confuses reality and fiction to the point of asking, like the Count: "Are we playing a comedy?" »Information and reservations onhttps://www.operadeparis.fr/saison-21...
