MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) (complete opera recorded in 1993)

G :-

Regular 1.33:1 / 4:3 - PCM Stereo - Colour - 169 Minutes - NTSC

Live recording at the Theatre du Chatelet, Paris, 1993.

This production, as one would expect from one with John Eliot Gardiner, offers the fruit of the maestro's musicological research into the score and what should the real sequence be? See his accompanying article "A Better Order for Figaro?".

The production features a young cast, headed by Bryn Terfel in the title role of Figaro. Here is a high quality visual document of this artist's extraordinary stage-presence and charisma to be enjoyed to the full!
