Conductor Joana Mallwitz makes her Met debut leading an extraordinary cast in Mozart’s comic masterpiece. Bass-baritone Michael Sumuel stars as the clever valet Figaro, opposite soprano Olga Kulchynska as his betrothed, the wily maid Susanna. Baritone Joshua Hopkins is the skirt-chasing Count, soprano Federica Lombardi as his anguished wife, and mezzo-sopranos Sun-Ly Pierce in the role of the adolescent page Cherubino.
