Wonderful performance. Great singers in this new conception of "Le Nozze di Figaro". We need this adaption. It is new. If the music and the libretto must be always the same, it is possible to change the stage.

In Le Nozze we need always tree component:

ironic, sensuality and good drama.

Here they are.

Harnoncourt is a Great direktor.

Musically perferct.

I love this piece!

I suppose that anyone who has different opinions is obtuse. This is really freedom of thought!

I own 4 different DVD's of Le Nozze de Figaro, including this one. All of them are valid interpretations. It is not often that one has the opportunity to use the word obtuse...but some people who posted remarks about this version of Le Nozze de Figaro are just that: extremely obtuse people. Des ignorants pédants!

i don't know, i found this production very interesting. I'll admit I had to stop the DVD in the middle to take a break but the singing I thought was great. Dorothea Roschmann is one of my favorites and so is Anna Netrebko. I found Harnoncourt's interpretation interesting and engaging. The only serious problem I had was staging. Interesting at first but after about two hours you get tired of that same room. But I applaud doing something different.

And regarding the spirit? I never understood why people see this as a comedy. the coutess moaning the losse of love, her husband trying to get the first night with a woman berfore her marriage. Cherubino in hopeless love.

Very funny for those persons. Read the words, and read the how the story continues. Figaro is the second part of a trilogy. Beaumarchais said with the third one a lot about the persons in Figaro. Harnoncourt and Guth are close to that.

@ samuraitaliano Look into the score and you'll see that Harnoncourt is very precise with the tempi.

One example: What many people call very slow in the ouverture is actually around 250 beats per minute for a 4/4 Presto, which Mozart former listed as Allegro molto in his work-list.

Gardiner and many others clearly conduct this as alla-breve, what Mozart did not write. And in comparison in the arias Harnoncourt is much more near to the content of the words.

I like Mozart and Nozze too... and usually also Harnoncourt but i don't like singers... and the arrangements...

[Jemima1377]

I don't like it. Harnoncourt has never pleased my ear much, but in this it gets even worse, as the setting and stage are boring and weird. They look like they are trying to copy pop music videos in this. (Don't get me wrong - I'm in my twenties and like pop music, but all in the right place).

Good for those of you, who enjoy it, but I prefer the more classical appearnce. With costumes that match the time and natural movements.

Then it's a whirlwind of joy to me. I'll just forget about this...

[edbrane]

Good singers but it's pathetic to see images and such a stupid stage: no idea, always the same things, so strong feelings. It should not be allowed to show this kind of stuff!
