This production holds my spirit. It reflects not only my artistic practice, but my ongoing questions about how opera lives, breathes, and speaks to the world around us.

Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais’ The Marriage of Figaro has always fascinated me—not only as a brilliant comedy, but as a revolutionary act. Napoleon famously called it “the Revolution already put into action.” That line lives at the heart of this staging.

Here, shadows become language. They are not just visual—they are emotional. They represent what the characters suppress, what they cannot name, and what they fear. By shaping the space through light and absence, I wanted to reveal the fractures beneath their masks—the place where performance meets truth.

To deepen the dialogue between past and present, I’ve also woven fragments of Beaumarchais’ original text into the score. His voice—irreverent, sharp, deeply human—echoes within Mozart’s music, and within our own moment.—
