DETAILS

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 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.

A cast of today's most in-demand Japanese performers appear under the baton of Tetsuro Ban, who holds vast theatrical experience.

SYNOPSIS

A former barber and now a servant of Count Almaviva, Figaro is going to marry Susanna, a servant of the Countess. Although the Count has already given up the right of the first night (the lord's right to share the first marriage night with his servant's bride in place of the servant), the Count, who fancies Susanna, intends to reclaim the right. The Countess laments that her husband's love for her is cooling. Therefore, the Countess, Figaro and Susanna all conspire to outwit the Count. They use Susanna's clothes to disguise Cherubino, a page at puberty, as a woman and try to lure out the Count...
