Mozart’s timeless masterpiece stars Danielle de Niese and John Relyea as the servant couple who out maneuver their bosses (and everyone else in their world) over the course of one crazy day. Bo Skovhus is the philandering Count and Emma Bell his long-suffering wife. Isabel Leonard upsets the household as the excitable pageboy Cherubino. In the later performances, Annette Dasch, Lisette Oropesa, Ludovic Tézier, and Luca Pisaroni take over the leading roles. Maestros Dan Ettinger and Fabio Luisi share the podium.
