Die Hochzeit des Figaro

In the organizer's words:

On the occasion of the wedding of Figaro and Susanna, Count Almaviva wants to indulge himself once again with the long abolished "right of the first night", setting in motion a machinery of confusion, intrigue and doubt that ultimately leads to the unmasking of the count's abuse of power, but also the possibility of forgiveness. Only a composer like Mozart could paint such a breathtaking portrait of a society in upheaval and an aristocracy once again living out its privileges and blindly running to its own ruin. In Lydia Steier's production, The Marriage of Figaro returns to the stage as a play that is as profound as it is entertaining, bitterly exposing what was originally revolutionary as the empty assertion of a frustrated society that has settled into the system.
