🖤 NYC CAST ANNOUNCEMENT — LE NOZZE DI FIGARO 🖤 We’re thrilled to introduce the young New York City cast of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, in collaboration with Teatro Grattacielo and Opera Studio Molise. 🎭 Directed by Stefanos Koroneos 🎼 Conducted by Abdiel Vázquez This production explores the emotional and political core of Beaumarchais’ story through a minimalist, highly conceptual lens: a split stage, stark black-and-white world, rolling chairs, and a chorus of silent figures reacting like shadows of the soul. At the center of this vision is the opera’s revolutionary spirit—a timeless comedy that dares to expose entrenched social order, disrupt hierarchies, and celebrate human agency. As Napoleon once praised, Figaro remains a radical mirror held up to power, now reimagined for our time.
