The wedding of the servant couple Figaro and Susanna is imminent, and everything could be so wonderful, if it weren’t for the lecherous Count Almaviva, who has been stalking Susanna for some time, as well as the vengeful Doctor Bartolo and his housekeeper Marcellina, who all wish to prevent the wedding. After numerous twists and turns, Figaro and Susanna, with the help of the Countess and thanks to an ingenious plan of revenge, finally succeed in thwarting Almaviva using his own art of seduction so that, in the end, all couples are reunited. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s »The Marriage of Figaro«, which premiered at Vienna’s Hoftheater in 1786, is the first of the three Mozart-da Ponte operas. Despite its quick-fire comedic action, the work foreshadows some of the radical ideas of the French Revolution. In his staging, director Johannes Erath takes the audience on a journey through the different epochs of theatrical history from Commedia dell’arte to the modern age.

Die Hochzeit des Dienerpaares Figaro und Susanna steht kurz bevor, und alles könnte so schön sein – wären da nicht der liebeslüsterne Graf Almaviva, der Susanna seit Langem nachstellt, sowie der rachsüchtige Doktor Bartolo und seine Haushälterin Marcellina, die eine Hochzeit allesamt verhindern wollen. Nach zahlreichen Intrigen gelingt es Figaro und Susanna mit Hilfe der Gräfin und dank eines ausgeklügelten Racheplans schließlich, Almaviva mit seiner eigenen Verführungskunst zu schlagen und am Ende alle rechtmäßigen Paare (wieder) zusammenzuführen. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts »Die Hochzeit des Figaro«, 1786 am Wiener Hoftheater uraufgeführt, ist die erste der drei Mozart-da-Ponte-Opern, die trotz der rasanten komödienhaften Handlung bereits die aufrührerischen Gedanken der Französischen Revolution erkennen lässt. Der Regisseur Johannes Erath lädt das Publikum in seiner »Figaro«- Inszenierung zu einer Reise durch die unterschiedlichen Epochen der Theatergeschichte ein, ausgehend von der Commedia dell’arte bis hin zur Moderne.
