Le Nozze di Figaro
Organised by : Chichester Cinema
Opera By Satellite
Mozart's opera in 4 acts, sung in Italian, with English subtitles, transmitted by satellite from the Royal Opera House.
Often considered a perfect opera, 'Le Nozze di Figaro' represents Mozart's genius at its most lively and delightful. Based on a play that was originally banned for its political content, the fast-moving libretto creates realistic characters made even more human by Mozart's outstanding music.
David McVicar's popular staging of this comedy returns in the hands of the leading British conductor Ivor Bolton. The cast is led by the star bass Erwin Schrott, who has sung the role to great acclaim at Covent Garden before, partnered with star Romanian soprano Anita Hartig in the role of Susanna. Running time 205m including interval.
Tickets £17.50 (Friends/Students £15)
