Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro - 2015 Salzburg Festival [4K UHD Blu-ray]

Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro is an unforgettable opera about love, desire and the primal force of uncontrollable passion. Concluding the Salzburg Festival’s highly successful Mozart / Da Ponte cycle, director Sven-Eric Bechtolf sets this emotional tour de force in a stately English country house during the 1920s. The renowned Vienna Philharmonic ensures an exceptional evening of music from Mozart’s birthplace.

First-ever opera release on ULTRA HD Blu-ray.

The new 4k standard offers a four times higher resolution compared to the former Full HD picture which allows viewers a deeper immersion into the performance. The new 4k standard for Ultra Blu-ray has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels in the so-called “50p” mode (50 pictures per second), resulting in much higher image definition and smoothness.

In the hands of Sven-Eric Bechtolf, this final production in the Salzburg Festival’s Mozart / Da Ponte trilogy is a unique evening of inspiring opera.

The stage design, spread over two levels showing up to five rooms at the same time, ensures fast-paced, parallel and multi-layered staging.

Conductor Dan Ettinger’s extraordinary musical sensitivity is truly noteworthy – “…the Vienna Philharmonic committed themselves with refined tonal brilliance and striking phrasing”. (Der Standard).

The soloists are a delight – “the sweet-voiced, appealing soprano Martina Janková”, “the alluring soprano Annett Fritsch” and “the charismatic bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni” (The New York Times).
