First-ever opera release on 4K ULTRA HD Blu-ray

Relive Mozart's unforgettable opera "Le nozze di Figaro" in ULTRA HD 4K – the first of its kind, using today's most advanced home theater technology

Mozart’s "Le nozze di Figaro" is an unforgettable opera about love, desire and the primal force of uncontrollable passion. Concluding the Salzburg Festival’s highly successful Mozart / Da Ponte cycle, director Sven-Eric Bechtolf sets this emotional tour de force in a stately English country house during the 1920s. The renowned Vienna Philharmonic ensures an exceptional evening of music from Mozart’s birthplace. The new 4K standard offers a four times higher resolution compared to the former Full HD picture which allows viewers a deeper immersion into the performance. The new 4K standard for Ultra Blu-ray has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels in the so-called “50p” mode (50 pictures per second), resulting in much higher image definition and smoothness. The Digital Opera Guide enables on-screen comments and background information about the opera and staging.
