Metropolitan Opera: The Marriage of Figaro

The 2020-21 Metropolitan Opera Radio Broadcast season continues with The Marriage of Figaro, Mozart’s timeless comedy about the feud between the classes and the sexes.

This encore broadcast from 2018 features an outstanding ensemble cast. Bass Ildar Abdrazakov starred as the quick-witted valet Figaro opposite soprano Nadine Sierra as his equally resourceful bride, the maid Susanna.

Soprano Ailyn Pérez sang the Countess Almaviva with baritone Mariusz Kwiecien as the philandering Count, and mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard was the perpetually love-sick pageboy Cherubino.

Harry Bicket led the Met Orchestra and Chorus in this sparkling musical masterpiece.

Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro will be heard over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 13. Listen to it on Classical IPR.
