David McVicar and John Eliot Gardiner give us an enjoyable Figaro at Covent Garden

Roger Smith, 16th September

If Count Almaviva (to say nothing of Don Giovanni) were alive today, he might perhaps enlist Richard Dawkins to defend his behaviour. We know from evolutionary biology that the male stands the best chance of passing on his genes if he has many partners, the female if she can keep the male around to help raise the children he’s had with her.
