Love, seduction, intrigue and comedy provide the confusing situations that has placed Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro among of the most popular of all the comic operas.
It is a work that abounds with plots, many just a little absurd, but each contributing to a brilliant theatrical score that has to end up with happiness for everyone - well almost everyone. With a sparkling overture, a series of superb arias, including Voi che sapete, Non piu andrai, and Porgi, amor, and a stunningly beautiful duet scene, E Susanna non vien, this is a work full of the best known moments in opera, conveniently gathered here on a disc of highlights.
