Performer: Friedrich Rom

Martin Kušej gives Mozart and Da Ponte's commedia per musica a sinister mafia setting, which is low on laughs but outstandingly performed, led by Lea Desandre's charismatic Cherubino.

Any production of Le nozze di Figaro in which both Marcellina and Barbarina give star performances is ensemble casting at its finest.

According to director Sven-Eric Bechtolf,  Don Giovanni’s divine retribution for a life of pure evil and insatiable fornication is just more of the same.

Die Festspiele starten mit Cosi fan tutte den diesjährigen Mozartmarathon und zeigen, dass man in Salzburg eben weiß, wie man Mozart spielt.
