A prominent Mozart opera. This opera buffa masterpiece unfolds around the story of the Count and the Countessa Almaviva, their servant Figaro, Figaro's betrothed Susanna and the count's page Cherubino.
Musical highlights include Figaro's aria <Non Più Andrai>, Cherubino's aria <Voi Che Sapete Che Cosa è Amor> and the Countessa's <Porgi Amor>, among other well-known pieces.
Director Andreas HOMOKI (currently the General Director of Opernhaus Zürich) created the set to be a space "outside of time", noting that in this work Mozart deals with the troubles and worries of humanity which are unchanging. Everything is arranged in black and white, the design that changes with the passage of time representing the breakdown of feudal society. Conducted by Constantin TRINKS. Figaro is played by Adam PALKA, while NNT Opera Studio graduate NAKAMURA Eri, now a member of Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, will play Susanna.
