Le nozze di Figaro Mozart

Public

Approvato

Mozart’s masterpiece based on a highly political play by the French writer Beaumarchais with libretto by the Italian da Ponte stands as one of the greatest of all operas. Figaro’s success when first performed in Vienna in 1786 showed that audiences appreciated the battles between the aristocracy & the servant classes & their triumphs, the characters & their intrigues, and the magic of Mozart’s music. Figaro went on to be performed in Prague, Germany, Italy, Paris, London, New York, St. Petersburg, Rio de Janeiro. It has not been out of the repertoire in the 230 years since its debut at the Imperial Court Theatre in Vienna.

Opera Hunter will present a new production by Director Michael Blaxland, Music Director Susan Hart & Conductor Christopher Bearman in June 2016 at Lake Macquarie Performing Arts Centre. Figaro will be performed by Alex Sefton.
