Overview

Wat gebeurde er met Figaro en zijn vrienden na de gebeurtenissen verteld in de opera’s van Rossini en Mozart? Een mogelijk vervolg wordt verteld in John Corigliano’s ‘grand opera buffa’ The Ghosts of Versailles – een luidruchtig grappig en diep ontroerend werk geïnspireerd op Beaumarchais’ derde Figaro-toneelstuk, La Mère Coupable, en geschreven in opdracht van de Met ter gelegenheid van zijn 100ste verjaardag. Deze uitzending legt de wereldpremière vast, onder leiding van James Levine. Håkan Hagegård is Beaumarchais, de schepper van Figaro, die diep verliefd is op Marie Antoinette (Teresa Stratas in een hartverscheurende voorstelling) en vastbesloten is de geschiedenis te herschrijven en haar te redden van de guillotine. Een jonge Renée Fleming, aan het begin van haar internationale carrière, zingt de ontrouwe Rosina. Gino Quilico is de sluwe Figaro die het heft in eigen handen probeert te nemen, en Marilyn Horne stopt de show als de exotische entertainer Samira.

The Ghosts of Versailles

Taglines

Overview

What happened to Figaro and his friends after the events told in Rossini’s and Mozart’s operas? One possible sequel is told in John Corigliano’s “grand opera buffa” The Ghosts of Versailles—an uproariously funny and deeply moving work inspired by Beaumarchais’s third Figaro play, La Mère Coupable, and commissioned by the Met to celebrate its 100th anniversary. This telecast captures its world premiere run, conducted by James Levine. Håkan Hagegård is Beaumarchais, Figaro’s creator, who is deeply in love with Marie Antoinette (Teresa Stratas in a heart-searing performance) and determined to rewrite history and save her from the guillotine. A young Renée Fleming, at the beginning of her international career, sings the unfaithful Rosina. Gino Quilico is the wily Figaro who tries to take matters in his own hands, and Marilyn Horne stops the show as the exotic entertainer Samira.
