Hear the Metropolitan Opera's production of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Classical IPR.
The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues this holiday weekend with a treat from the company’s archives: two immortal voices – soprano Victoria de los Angeles and bass Cesare Siepi – starring in Mozart’s best-loved comedy, Le Nozze di Figaro.
This 1956 broadcast is being aired in celebration of the centennial of these great artists.
De los Angeles stars as the Countess Almaviva and Siepi is Figaro, the clever servant who teams up with the Countess – and his own fiancée Susanna – in trying to punish the Count for his philandering ways.
Max Rudolf conducted a cast also featuring Nadine Conner, Frank Guarrera, and Mildred Miller.
Le Nozze di Figaro will be heard over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 30.
