“Memorable Performance” says the Associated Press

Approximate running time 3 hrs. 34 min.

 

Music Director James Levine conducts a new production of Mozart’s eternal masterpiece, directed by Richard Eyre, who sets the action in a 18th-century manor house in Seville during the 1930s. Dashing bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov, our Figaro, leads a dazzling cast, including Marlis Petersen as his bride, Susanna, Peter Mattei as the philandering Count, Amanda Majeski as the long-suffering Countess, and Isabel Leonard as the libidinous pageboy Cherubino. Designer Rob Howell (Carmen, Werther) utilizes a revolving set to keep the story bubbling along.

“A sparkling new production… joyful music-making… The youthful cast dug into their roles with gusto and sang with style… A memorable performance of Mozart’s immortal comedy.” (Associated Press)

“A swiftly paced, playful evening… Eyre skillfully built the comic ensembles to climaxes that made you laugh out loud… A happy Marriage at the Met.” (Wall Street Journal)
