Le Nozze di Figaro is the first of three collaborations between Mozart and Da Ponte. The opera is a cornerstone of the repertoire offering an unknown perfection between music and words. The high quality of the libretto and Mozart’s stunning music describe the characters and give a never heard passion. A never seen performance on lyric scene! The audience was so enthusiastic that almost every aria had to be repeated. Famous arias like: Susanna “Venite, inginocchiatevi”, the Countess “Porgi amor”, Cherubino “Non so piu” and “Voi che sapete”, will be performed by René Jacobs favorite soloists: Sophie Karthäuser, Sunhae Im or Robert Gleadow.
