Performer: Richard Brunel

The Opéra de Lyon presents Britten’s masterpiece for the first time: a triumph, both visually and musically, which is received with great enthusiasm by the audience.

The 2012 Festival d’Aix-en-Provence began its four-week feast of opera and music with Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro—and could there be better a way? Nothing can beat the sublime company of Mozart, Da Ponte and Beaumarchais on a summer evening in the open-air Théâtre de l'Archevêché.

Formidable dans le rôle-titre, Stéphane Degout emmène une très belle distribution, sous la baguette excellente de Daniele Rustioni et dans une mise en scène intelligente signée Richard Brunel.
