The Marriage of Figaro

Approved

In Mozart's opera Le nozze di Figaro, Susanna and Figaro want to get married and that sets a complex tragicomedy in motion. Quite a challenge, but director Tom Goossens is ready for it.  The soloists and actors are utterly enjoying themselves and at the same time they bring the funny misunderstandings and musical highlights to life with masterly precision. 

Tom and soprano Lenneke Ruiten found a moment to reveal a little sneak peek for us.

Discover Le nozze di Figaro from 30/05 at Opera Ghent and from 23 June at Opera Antwerp. Attention, tickets are flying out the door.

The glorious collaboration between composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte began with Le nozze di Figaro. The story starts with an apparently simple desire – Susanna and Figaro want to get married – and soon degenerates into an intrigue comedy that takes us, in one crazy day, through doors, out a window, to the army, through a courtroom and into the garden. The count appears to have designs on Susanna; The countess misses the count; Marcellina demands Figaro; Bartolo is out for revenge; Cherubino actually wants all women; Antonio is attached to his carnations and something drives Don Basilio. Can you still follow? If not, no worries: Tom Goossens is the ideal director to unravel all those threads once and for all with comic precision. And among all those complications, Mozart knows how to stack up the musical highlights like no other, this time interpreted by audience favourites such as Kartal Karagedik and Anna Pennisi.
