Bursting with misunderstanding, comedy and intrigue, the tale of Figaro and his fiancée Susanna as they try to evade the philandering seductions of Figaro's master the Count of Almaviva, is one of Mozart's greatest achievements. The score includes many of Mozart's best known arias and duets, including the Countess's sublime and wistful Dove sono and Cherubino's youthful and effervescent Voi che sapete. Whether you are hearing this opera for the first or the hundredth time it is easy to appreciate why, with it's blend of comic vitality and genuine poignancy, it is still one of the most frequently performed operas in the repertoire.
