Figaro (solo): Bring me a Storm is an online opera that serves as a counterpart to Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro. Starting point is Figaro’s explosive monologue from Pierre Beaumarchais’ original play Le mariage de Figaro. Mozart and his librettist Da Ponte left the text, which brims with revolutionary spirit, out of their opera adaptation. Now the scene finally makes it to the operatic stage in the vision of a new generation of music theatre makers.
