The Marriage of Figaro (2012)
Directed by Michael Grandage, François Roussillon
Overview
Perhaps no opera is as closely and affectionately associated with a single opera house as Le Nozze di Figaro is with Glyndebourne. Michael Grandage’s staging is no less than the seventh in the festival’s history, and sets the opera in the sleazy Sixties. Directed by Robin Ticciati, the production was lauded for its “ideal pacing” and youthful cast (which includes “no weak link” and “looks gorgeous”—The Sunday Times), and continues Glyndebourne’s rewarding explorations of Mozart and Da Ponte’s “day of madness”.
