Le nozze di Figaro - Glyndebourne Tour 2012, New Wimbledon Theatre

A new production transferring direct from Festival 2012
Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Director Michael Grandage returns to Glyndebourne for the first time since making his opera debut with the acclaimed Billy Budd in 2010. Opening as part of the Glyndebourne Festival 2012, this new production will transfer direct to the Tour with a new cast of rising stars.

The Independent on Sunday on Billy Budd

Sung in Italian with English supertitles
