Love conquers all... doesn’t it? Mozart’s sexiest and sharpest comedy pits men against women and master against servant as it cuts to the heart of human nature. Cherubino pines for the Countess, who is devoted to the Count. But he has designs on Susanna, who only has eyes for Figaro. Mozart’s masterpiece of tangled desires, politics and identities comes fresh from the Glyndebourne Festival in the concert-staging of a brand-new production with a stellar cast, conducted by Ricardo Minasi.
