Die Hochzeit des Figaro gilt als Höhepunkt der Oper und eines der größten Werke des Genies Mozart. Es begründet die Zusammenarbeit zweier Meister ihres Fachs: Des Komponisten Mozarts, mit dem Librettisten Lorenzo da Ponte. Die literarische Vorlage war ein Skandalstück, das den Autoren ins Gefängnis brachte, der Zensur zum Opfer fiel und überhaupt für Furore sorgte. Ludwig XVI urteilte: „Wenn ich dieses Stück genehmigen würde, müsste ich konsequenterweise gleich die Bastille einreißen.“

Known as opera’s “disrupter-in-residence,” director Yuval Sharon has never adhered to the art form’s conventions. In his many productions in both the United States and Europe, he constantly challenges the perception of opera as aloof by urging, among other things: performing operas in “non-places,” such as parking lots; encouraging the use of amplification; and shuffling the traditional structure of classic works, like performing Puccini’s La bohème in reverse order, ending not with the tubercular heroine Mimi’s death but with her first falling in love.
