Le nozze di Figaro Festival 2013 Trailer

Mozart's story of love, deception, seduction and subversion is here set at the end of the swinging 60s in Franco's Spain complete with flares, kaftans and a brief cameo from a 'vintage' (actually electric) red Austin Healy.

Michael Grandage's production was acclaimed when first put on at the 2012 Glyndebourne Festival: ‘This is a Figaro of rare grace, naturalness and charm’, said The Daily Telegraph, and for The Sunday Times it was a production that ‘affirms Mozart’s most beloved masterpiece as both of its time and perennially modern, Grandage oiling the comic mechanisms of Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto with a master technician’s hands.’

Le nozze di Figaro (recorded live in 2012) will be in cinemas and online from 8 July 2013
