W.A. Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro from La Scala
A new La Scala production of Le nozze di Figaro featuring Carlos Álvarez, Diana Damrau, Golda Schultz and Marianne Crébassa, conducted by Franz Welser-Möst.
For the 225th anniversary of Mozart’s death, La Scala Theatre presents a new production of Le nozze di Figaro. It had been entrusted to the extraordinary director Frederic Wake-Walker (author of a production of La finta giardiniera which was the revelation of the Glyndebourne Festival in 2014).
He focuses the action of the piece on the instability of love: “Le nozze di Figaro presents us with an impossibility – a world where everyone is loving and forgiving.
”The approach to his direction is “elaborate and very innovative” and “also musically, the new production of Figaro is worth a tour to Milan." (NZZ)
"the cast is magnificient.” (Kurier)
“… when Diana Damrau enters as the Countess, we get a performance of special gravitas. Even the orchestra, under Franz Welser-Möst’s baton, melts to such grace.” (Financial Times)
