A real treat awaits music lovers, as this is how every premiere of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's famous The Marriage of Figaro should be read. And when this premiere takes place almost three and a half decades after the premiere of this work on the stage of the Warsaw Chamber Opera, and takes place in the same venue, one can safely speak of a great celebration of classical opera.
"Le Nozze di Figaro", or "The Marriage of Figaro", and for connoisseurs KV 492 - just a magical three-digit number systematising Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's legacy in Ludwig Alois Ferdinand Ritter von Köchel's catalogue. But beneath these three numbers lies an absolute of art, an iconic work on the palette of all art patronised by the muse Polihymnia. A catalogue of human dramas, amorous raptures, lapses, a description of human weaknesses, but also a praise of the heart's impulse, clear as spring water. All this was described by Lorenzo da Ponte giving Mozart a libretto referring directly to Pierre Beaumarchais' 1781 play.
