Mozart's Marriage of Figaro is widely seen as one of the great comic operas and contains some of his most glorious music. It is an action packed day, the day of Figaro's marriage to Susanna, but is complicated because their master, the philandering Count, has designs on Susanna himself. Erwin Schrott sings the title role in a stellar cast that also includes Mariusz Kwiecien as the Count and Danielle de Niese as Susanna, along with Met debutantes Rachel Willis-SÃrensen as the wronged Countess and Serena Malfi as Cherubino. Edo de Waart conducts.
