The Marriage of Figaro

A marriage on the cards, and another on the rocks: will you say ‘I do’ to Mozart’s comic masterpiece?

When a lusty aristocrat tries to seduce his valet’s pretty young fiancée, his servants and long-suffering wife conspire to teach him a lesson in fidelity.

Four season debuts bring a fresh face to Mozart’s central quartet this season. Prize-winning Uzbekistani bass Jasurbek Khaydarov makes his UK opera and Glyndebourne debut in the title role, with Chinese soprano Mei Gui Zhang as his beloved Susanna. American soprano Olivia Boen sings the Countess, with Russian baritone Anton Beliaev as her irascible husband, the Count.

John Christie Award-winner Henna Mun returns to Glyndebourne as Barbarina, with fellow former Jerwood Artist Rachel Roper as Cherubino. Veteran mezzo Madeleine Shaw returns from the production’s original cast as Marcellina, joined by Henry Waddington as Bartolo and Mark Milhofer as Don Basilio.
