Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Glyndebourne began with The Marriage of Figaro back in the thirties and now it brings Mozart's bitter-sweet opera to the Proms to celebrate the millennium. High comedy is tinged with pain and confusion in some of the most glorious music of all time as Figaro schemes to outwit the lecherous Count Almaviva and claim the beautiful young Susanna.
Glyndebourne Opera Chorus, London Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Andrew Davis
