Read a selection of press reviews and audience reactions for Le nozze di Figaro.
When a womanising aristocrat tries to seduce his valet’s pretty young fiancée, his wife and servants conspire to teach him a lesson in fidelity he’ll never forget. Plots are hatched, promises made (and broken) and disguises donned, as Mozart’s ‘mad day’ unfolds.
Director Michael Grandage updates the action to the dying days of Spain’s Franco regime in his 2012 production. Giancarlo Andretta and Nicholas Carter conduct.

After a couple of years of putting it on my ‘to-do’ list, finally made it to Glyndebourne opera festival. Just sitting down for the second half of the Marriage of Figaro, after a lovely picnic during the intermission. Any excuse to get this one in a tux ❤️ #alwaysloveasailor pic.twitter.com/2ieRp33xNE
