Le nozze di Figaro

Description

Revolution of the puppets years have passed and it is wedding anniversary. Figaro, who rose from barber to chamberlain of the Count, and his Susanna want to get married. But Count Almaviva has also set his sights on the servant girl and is doing everything to delay the wedding. With the support of the Countess, the witty couple rebels against the arbitrariness of authority and triggers a cascade of intrigues and counter-intrigues. After his successful staging of 'The Barber of Seville', director Nikolaus Habjan returns to Basel with marionette puppets. Together with the Opera Studio OperAvenir, he dedicates himself to Mozart's socially critical opera full of sharp humor and emotional depths.
