The mother of all musical comedies is coming to the Schiller Theatre! After Così fan tutte, Kirill Serebrennikov is now bringing us his second Mozart production on the stage of the Komische Oper Berlin.

This is really not how Figaro and Susanna imagined the night before their wedding: not only is their new bedchamber right next to the rooms of their employer Count Almaviva, Susanna fears that he might even sneak in a claim to his droit du seigneur. But these are not the only intrigues in the House of Almaviva: old Bartolo seeks revenge against Figaro for thwarting his former plans to marry the Countess himself, and last but not least, the neglected Countess Rosina is concocting her own plans to bring her supposedly love-struck husband back in line.

By the way:
After Così fan tutte and The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni will follow in 2025, thus completing Serebrennikov’s staging of Mozart’s Da Ponte trilogy.
