Le nozze di Figaro at Tanglewood
More intimate and more intimately musical than fully staged opera productions, Nelsons’s Nozze was nothing short of transformative.
“Tanglewood’s first ever complete performance of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro on Saturday night brought together a stellar cast of singers, a joyous opera-pit-sized BSO, and a subtly subversive Andris Nelsons, determined to immerse us in the sheer power and beauty of Mozart’s score. The result was an unmitigated delight with profound undertones. More intimate and more intimately musical than fully staged opera productions, Nelsons’s Nozze was nothing short of transformative.”
The Boston Musical Intelligencer
“As good as opera in the Shed ever gets… From the roller coaster overture to the joyous wedding dances, the orchestral passages glistened with charm and energy.”
