The Met: Live in HD – Mozart’s Le Nozze Di Figaro

The Met: Live in HD 2014-15 Season kicks off with Met Music Director James Levine conducting a spirited new production of Mozart’s masterpiece The Marriage of Figaro. Director Richard Eyre sets the action of this classic domestic comedy in a 19th-century manor house in Seville, but during the gilded age of the late 1920s. Dashing bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov leads the cast in the title role of the clever servant, opposite Marlis Petersen as his bride, Susanna, Peter Mattei as the philandering Count they work for, Amanda Majeski as the long-suffering Countess, and Isabel Leonard as the libidinous pageboy Cherubino.
