Le Nozze di Furrygaro Opens In Salzburg

Gerald Finley, quite possibly the leading Almaviva working today, displays some impressively hairy chesticular real estate in Salzburg; the 2006 Claus Guth superglum production of Nozze di Figaro re-opens tomorrow in Salzburg with a slightly different cast (no Netrebko this time, unfortunately -- she so owns Susanna, or at least she used to): the awesome Dorothea Roeschmann (2006 redux) as the Contessa, Katija Dragojevic as Cherubino, Marlis Petersen as Susanna, Luca Pisaroni as Figaro.

 

Thankfully, no Nikolaus "My Nozze Veel Last Zwei Hours Longer Zen You're Used To" Harnoncourt in the pit -- Daniel Harding flaunts his Wiener instead.
