Mozart’s iconic comedy is one of the world’s best loved operas. We now present it in a completely new production, made by the same creative team that created Il barbiere di Siviglia in spring 2024. The characters are older, less naïve, more world weary and decadent, but very human.

It is Figaro’s and Susanna’s wedding day. But not only the bride and groom are looking forward to it. The Count is more interested in Susanna than in the Countess. She, in turn, mourns her husband’s lack of affection at the same time as she is flattered by Cherubino, who is obsessed with her – and, it seems, every other woman. Le nozze di Figaro is a whirlwind of love, desire and complications, and a portrayal of the demise of the old system.

Mozart’s iconic comedy is one of the world’s best loved operas. We now present it in a completely new production, made by the same creative team that created Il barbiere di Siviglia in spring 2024. The characters are older, less naïve, more world weary and decadent, but very human. Internationally acclaimed soprano Johanna Wallroth appears as Susanna for the first time on the Royal Swedish Opera main stage. Le nozze di Figaro is the second part of a Figaro trilogy directed by Linus Fellbom at the Royal Swedish Opera.

  • »Johanna Wallroth, alone worth the ticket«
  • »Festive, folky, farce - ++++«
  • »Alan Gilbert finds his way to the depths of the supposedly simple, and the Royal Swedish Orchestra seems to be in the Viennese form of its life«
  • »Johanna Wallroth excels«
  • »In Fellbom's direction, the farce gets an obvious role«
  • »Jens Persson Hertzman plays the role of a lifetime as the Count«
  • »The direction is crystal clear and Mozart's music takes the audience on a whirling swing«
  • »Alan Gilbert achieves a very tight Mozart performance«
  • »I really have to congratulate the Royal Swedish Opera«
