This wasn’t how Figaro imagined his wedding to Susanna. First she accuses him of being blind to Count Almaviva’s intentions: he has designs on the pretty chambermaid and wishes to reclaim his “jus primae noctis” – his lordly right to the first night. Then the housekeeper Marcelline starts blackmailing him because of an old promise he once made to marry her and finally his own plan to unmask the Count also fails. The Count’s capricious nature can only tackled with cunning and presence of mind. Attack and defence are skills that also need to be practiced by Countess Almaviva, the young page Cherubino, the housekeeper Marcellina, the legal expert Doctor Bartolo and even the simple gardener Antonio and his love-hungry daughter Barbarina. “Everyone in ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ has failed,” is one of the ten theses on which Michael Hampe, one of the best-known and most experienced opera and theatre directors, has based his production of Mozart’s opera buffa. But above all it is the women who possess sufficient influence to resolve an aristocratic marriage in crisis, a servants’ wedding that has been postponed several times and some long concealed family ties in a happy ending without all the valuable porcelain being smashed before the reconciliation can be celebrated.
