The libretto was written by Lorenzo da Ponte, whose later collaboration with Mozart gave us Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte: it’s full of wit, of surprises, of hidden husbans, lovers and parents, and (in this case) ends for the better.

As for music, Mozart is at his best, with a dozen of great arias, including “Voi che sapete…”, “So vuol ballar…” and so many others!

Recorded in the 2021 Aix en Provence Festival, this performance features soprano Julie Fuchs (Susanna), baritone Andrè Schuen (Figaro) and mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre (Cherubino) among other great singers.

Subtitles are available in the following langages: Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, and Polish.
