About
Mozart's comic masterpiece returns to the Liceu in a bold new staging by director Marta Pazos, built around a giant wedding cake that doubles as the social pyramid the characters scheme their way up. Conductor Giovanni Antonini leads a cast including Luca Pisaroni, André Schuen, Samuel Hasselhorn, Sara Blanch and Anna Prohaska across a run of evening and Sunday performances through mid-June. Sung in Italian with surtitles in Catalan and Spanish.
