Conductor Joana Mallwitz makes her Met debut leading 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 philandering Count, soprano Federica Lombardi is his anguished wife, and mezzo-soprano Sun-Ly Pierce plays the role of the adolescent page Cherubino.
