Rossini / Mozart / Milhaud: Figaro3

Three operas by three composers on one night: that’s what Figaro³ is all about. Along with Rossini and Mozart, Beaumarchais’s Figaro trilogy also inspired the rarely heard composer Darius Milhaud. This production features a unique treatment by director András Dömötör that focuses dramaturgically on the story of Rosina and Almaviva and provides the opera singers with an opportunity they have never had before: to finally be able to perform their characters’ roles across the entire course of the trilogy. And helping us will be the character Léon, the late-arriving child of the count and countess whose entire life story is at the centre of all of his family’s dramas and secrets: as part of a unique course of therapy, he attempts to finally unravel his family history to find out why it turned out in the way that only opera fans know – or perhaps might not.
