Spoleto | LE NOZZE DI FIGARO / THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO

A new production, in collaboration with the Fondazione Teatro Coccia in Novara, of Le Nozze di Figaro, by W.A. Mozart, the first of the three works written by the composer from Salzburg upon libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. An intensive and overwhelming plot, in which men and women are counterposed in the course of a “crazy day”, full of dramatic and comical events. A satire upon the privileged social classes of the time, but also an acute metaphor of the different phases of love.
