A count, a countess, his valet and her maid: Mozart’s musical comedy of manners is a cherished favorite around the world. Italian bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni plays the smooth Count Almaviva, who guards his wife (Ellie Dehn) jealously, while lusting after her maid Susanna (Adriana Kucerová). On the eve of her wedding to Figaro (Patrick Carfizzi), Susanna and the Countess use their charm and wit to give the Count a taste of his own medicine, with the help of the lovesick page Cherubino (Marie Lenormand). The acclaimed young American conductor James Gaffigan makes his Houston Grand Opera debut.
