Lorenzo Regazzo heads an all-star cast in Christoph Marthaler’s 2001 production of Mozart’s opera, recorded with the Opera national de Paris, conducted by Sylvain Cambreling. Other performers include Peter Mattei, Christine Schäfer, Christiane Oelze and Heidi Grant Murphy.
Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto and Mozart’s music were to transform the stock characters of the Opera Buffa tradition into real human beings, making Le Nozze di Figaro one of the most sophisticated operas of all time. A charming expressive and witty Figaro, Lorenzo Regazzo leads a sparkling cast to illustrate superbly the timeless humanity of this masterpiece.Christoph Marthaler’s take on Mozart’s classic is both daringly original and highly contemporary, the setting transposed to a wedding-dress shop lit with neon lights and a shabby register office.
