This new excitingly original production of Mozart's most popular opera was the sensation of the 2006 Salzburg Festival.
"What young director Claus Guth has made of Figaro - with Harnoncourt's active callaboration - is genius - The stellar cast performed with power and precision... This Figaro is as dangerous as the midday sun in one's eyes" (Le Monde).
"A triumph for Mozart... Netrebko's golden radiance and dark velvet are ideal" (Salzburger Nachrichten).
"Shattering, unforgettable" (The Guardian).
