O Fígaro do Met

«Putting Ms. Oropesa in a cast that already included Erwin Schrott, a youthful Uruguayan bass, as Figaro, was a smart move: this nine-year-old Jonathan Miller production, now stage-directed by Robin Guarino, has worked best when the casts are not only vocally commanding, but young and trim as well. Mr. Schrott is a natural comedian and has a sonorous voice that served him well in a rambunctious “Se vuol ballare” and later, more seriously, in “Aprite un po’ quegl’occhi.”»
