Performer: Julia Hansen

Mariame Clément’s production of Rossini's meta comedy is tightly revived with some excellent singing. Come for the writing tips, stay for the cured meats.

Mariame Clément is a popular director at Glyndebourne, and her new production of Figaro shows her trademark approach to hardhitting comedy.

The French director updates the action to the present day, underscoring the validity of the plot – feuding families and class differences are still relevant. 

A revival of Mariame Clément's production of Rossini's less-loved comic gem provides the sense of Italian sun to warm the body and belly laughs to warm the soul.

Strong musical performances in a flawed and confused production revived for the autumn season at Glyndebourne. 

Mariame Clément wants her cake and eats it in a thought-provoking production that explores Mozart’s opera through Leporello’s perspective.
