NEW YORK—With Mozart’s music, Harry Bicket in the pit, and a top-flight cast, Mozart’s comic masterpiece, “Le nozze di Figaro” (“The Marriage of Figaro”) is in capable hands.
Pierre Beaumarchais wrote the play “The Barber of Seville” about Count Almaviva wooing and winning the hand of beautiful Rosina. The count, with the help of the wily barber Figaro, helped trick the young woman’s guardian, Doctor Bartolo.
