It hasn’t gone unnoticed over the centuries that it’s the women in Le Nozze di Figaro who pull the strings—in particular the servant Susanna on her wedding day. In this latest Vienna iteration of Mozart’s imperishable masterpiece, the assignment falls to the irresistible Ying Feng. Hanna-Elisabeth Müller is along for the ride as Susanna’s mistress the Countess, the bird in her husband’s gilded cage, warbling the laments of ravishing beauty. But don’t discount the bucks. As the eponymous bridegroom and manservant, the Harlequinesque Peter Kellner locks antlers with the formal yet romantic Andrè Schuen as the Count, who thinks he holds all the cards. Philippe Jordan conducts this score as if every performance were a festival premiere. Barrie Kosky’s production is full of deliberate, resonant anachronisms. —Matthew Gurewitsch
