Barrie Kosky, one of the most innovative opera directors of our time, creates a new interpretation of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro at the Vienna State Opera with a very young ensemble. Philippe Jordan conducts the Vienna State Opera Orchestra and together they ‘offer an ideal blend of elegant lyricism and concentrated expression, each and every one of them’ (Wiener Zeitung). ‘Beauty and wit combine in the most elegant way’ (Der Standard). ‘A triumph of Barrie Kosky's brilliant direction: hilarious and, at the same time, deeply appealing and evocative’ (klassik-begeistert.de).

Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, based on La folle journée ou le mariage de Figaro by Pierre-Augustin Beaumarchais
