The Story: Mozart’s Masterpiece at the New National Theatre
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro (Le nozze di Figaro) remains one of the crowning achievements of the operatic canon. Premiered in Vienna in 1786, the work compresses the social tensions, emotional betrayals, and romantic entanglements of a single tumultuous day into an unbroken display of musical genius. Set in the estate of Count Almaviva, the narrative follows the clever manservant Figaro and his bride-to-be, Susanna, as they attempt to outwit the Count, who harbors unwanted intentions toward Susanna. Concurrently, the abandoned Countess Almaviva seeks to regain her husband’s affections, while the youthful page Cherubino finds himself caught in the middle of every intrigue.
This staging by the New National Theatre (NNTT)—Japan’s premier venue dedicated exclusively to opera, ballet, and contemporary dance—features the iconic production directed by Andreas Homoki, current Intendant of the Zurich Opera House. Homoki’s vision strips away traditional ornate 18th-century period decor in favour of a sleek, monochrome aesthetic. Across a stark white stage, the characters move within a labyrinth of shifting doors and frames. As the drama accelerates, the rigid social hierarchy of the court is strip away, exposing the timeless human vulnerabilities underneath.
Musically, the production showcases a formidable ensemble of top Japanese opera talent, many of whom have built extensive careers across European opera houses. Baritone Yoshiaki Kimura takes on the title role of Figaro, alongside Shingo Sudo as Count Almaviva and Tamayo Yoshida as the Countess. Soprano Kanae Kushima plays Susanna, while mezzo-soprano Yuka Yamashita performs the pants role of Cherubino. Leading the musical force is maestro Tetsuro Saka, conducting the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and the New National Theatre Chorus. From the famous overture to beloved arias like “Non più andrai” and “Voi che sapete,” this production presents world-class operatic storytelling in the heart of Tokyo.
